Doesn't the Indian Ocean also touch three others? The map shows it touches the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern, and it doesn't touch the Arctic.
The Atlantic and Pacific both touch four other oceans.

- eesmith 5y agoSure, but why not write simply "it is the only ocean to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them", and leave out the first qualification? It's always possible to add more qualifications, like "it is the only penguin-containing ocean completely south of the Equator to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them.
