Smallest of earth's five oceans (6)

I believe the answer is:

arctic

(Other definitions for arctic that I've seen before include "Very cold (weather)" , "Of North polar regions" , "Relating to northern polar regions" , "-- Circle; -- fox" , "Of the extreme north" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
