Countries Connected to More Than One Ocean

Across the planet, there are a select few nations and territories that share a remarkable geographic privilege: they border two or more of the world's great oceans. These places are living connections between vast climates, ecosystems and maritime regions. For those that touch more than one of these immense basins, geography is both an advantage and a challenge. Their positions influence trade routes, naval power, fishing industries and even climate patterns. Following is a list of such countries.

Argentina is connected to three oceans: the South Atlantic, the South Pacific and the Southern ocean. Its long coastline stretches from warm plains to icy edges, linking maritime trade, fishing and Antarctic exploration within its southern reach.

Australia also sits between three oceans: the Indian, Southern and Pacific. While the Indian and Southern Oceans meet at Cape Leeuwin in the west, the Indian and Pacific Oceans join off the coast of Tasmania in the southeast.
