where the atlantic meets the pacific
Spice Islands. Cape Horn (55Â°58â² S, 67Â°16â² W) At this spot the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet, often in a confrontation. No land to the east, none to the westâwinds sweep all the way around the world from the west. The closest arm of Antarctica, Graham Land of the Antarctic Peninsula, lies six hundred miles to the south across the roughest stretch of water known on the planet, Drake Passage.
