Oceans Of The World - The Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean, stretching over an area of approximately 70.56 million square kilometers, is the third-largest ocean in the world. Bounded by Africa to the west, Asia to the north, Australia to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the south, it is a region of profound historical significance, ecological diversity, and modern geopolitical importance. This vast expanse of water has been a cradle of ancient civilizations, a conduit for trade and cultural exchange, and a stage for contemporary strategic maneuvers.
