Image of the ocean currents. Note that
- E.Greenland + Labrador + Norwegian = Viking gyre
- Gulf stream + N.Atlantic Drift + Canary + N.Equatorial = Columbus gyre
- S.Equatorial + Brazil + South Atlantic + Benguela = Navigator gyre
- S.Indian + S.Equatorial + Mozambique + W. Australia = Majid gyre
- Alaska + N.Pacific + Oyashio = Aloet gyre
- Kuroshio + N. Equatorial + California = Turtle gyre
- Peru + S.Pacific + E. Australia = Heyerdahl gyre
Finally, a few gyres also exist at the poles (not shown at this map); these are:
- North pole: Polar bear gyre, Storkerson gyre, Melville gyre
- South pole: Pinguin gyre
