Indian Ocean

Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker

Spanning roughly 27 million square miles, this is the world’s third-largest ocean. It has powered maritime trade for at least 5,000 years. It also holds some of the warmest waters on Earth. Unlike other oceans, its lack of direct Arctic access makes its circulation patterns more regionalized and seasonally driven. It plays a key role in regulating tropical weather systems like monsoons.
