The Arctic Ocean is the world's

smallest ocean, with a total area of

5,440,000 sq miles (15,1000,000 sq km),

and is almost permanently covered

by pack ice.

The Arctic Lion’s Mane is the

world’s largest jellyfish, 7 ft

(2.1 m) in diameter. Its main

body trails tentacles up to

180 ft (55 m) in length.
