The natural delimitation between the Pacific and South Atlantic Oceans by the Shackleton Fracture Zone is the title of a scientific theory developed in Chile and other countries in which it is postulated that the boundary between the southeastern Pacific Ocean and the southwestern Atlantic Ocean would not be the so-called Cape Horn meridian, but is the Shackleton Fracture Zone, mid-oceanic ridge[1] and submarine orographic chain which links the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago with the Antarctic continent. It also considers the conventional border of the Southern Ocean at the 60°S parallel.[2]
