    Description
    English: the ocean currents.

    Note that

    • E. Greenland + Labrador + Norwegian = Viking gyre
    • Gulf stream + N. Atlantic Drift + Canary + N. Equatorial = Columbus gyre
    • S. Equatorial + Brazil + South Atlantic + Benguela = Navigator gyre
    • S. Indian + S. Equatorial + Mozambique + W. Australia = Majid gyre
    • Alaska + N. Pacific + Oyashio = Aloet gyre
    • Kuroshio + N. Equatorial + California = Turtle gyre
    • Peru + S. Pacific + E. Australia = Heyerdahl gyre

    Finally, a few gyres also exist at the poles (not shown at this map); these are:

    • North Pole: Polar bear gyre, Storkerson gyre, Melville gyre
    • South Pole: Penguin gyre
