If you've always asked yourself “where do the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet?”, then your search is over – they meet at Cape Horn. This rugged headland lies at the southernmost point of Tierra del Fuego, an archipelago at the very tip of South America.

Why is the Pacific Ocean bluer than the Atlantic?
Answer: The Pacific waters are dark blue because of the much deeper inshore/coastal Pacific Ocean waters - than shallow inshore east coast Atlantic waters. So the water color green or dark blue - is about water depth and also the quantity of very small marine life in the water.

Why do the Atlantic and Pacific oceans not mix?

Answer: Ts glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska. The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference of water density, temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix.

-Pacific oceans have different density and chemical make-up, the level of salinity and other qualities. One can see by their color that they are far from being the same.
- Haloclines – borders between waters with different salinity – are the most spectacular, and this is what we see when the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans meet.
- Haloclines appear when water in one ocean or sea is at least 5 times saltier than in the other.
- Another important difference between the two oceans' water is the strength of molecules' connection, or surface tensile strength.
