Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of the state of research on the Global Ocean Conveyor Belt (GOCB) as an element of the Global Ocean Circulation linking the thermocline and the abyssal. In particular, it is noted that the existence of GOCB cannot be due only to the action of thermohaline factors. In addition to them, a wind effect on the Ocean is also necessary. Moreover, the area of such impact, which determines the very configuration of the GOCB, is the Southern Ocean. In addition, for the very existence of the GOCB in its current form, the configuration of the continents of the current geological epoch is of fundamental importance.
