The Pacific Ocean, or the Pacific Basin, was the largest ocean on Earth, comprising a third of its surface area. Due to its great size, political maps divided the ocean into the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean (aka South Seas), with the equator being the border between the two regions. Four continents - North America, South America, Australia, and Asia - had coastlines on this ocean. The Pacific Ocean was the location of several islands and island chains, among them Gravett Island and Hawaii. Before their extinction in the 21st century, humpback whales lived in this ocean.

Background info

Retroactive continuity: 20th century-era maps of the northern hemisphere Pacific region were stored in the USS Enterprise library computer in 2254. One map depicted the east coast of Asia's USSR nation and Alaska on the west coast of North America. Another map depicted the globe from the point of view of the Arctic Circle, showing the same region. These maps were among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS: "The Cage")
