Summary: The huge Atlantic is Earth's second biggest ocean. It spans the equator, linking North and South America with Europe and Africa, and its waters vary from the icy Baltic Sea to the warm Caribbean. Deep below the surface, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has helped from large volcanic islands such as Iceland. The Atlantic provides us with a wealth of fish and other natural resources, but is at constant risk from over-fishing and pollution.
