Sargasso Sea

NOAA just featured the Sargasso Sea in a short article.  There is in the article an awesome animation showing currents that surround the Sargasso, including Gulf Stream Rings.  They also mention sargassum, an amazing holopelagic algae.

A timely article indeed since we just completed Chap. 7 on ocean currents.
