Might as well just write it's north of south

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

most probably between southamerica and antartica.

See that actually does narrow it down

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Near the British Empire then.

I don't know where his ship is, but the man had great taste in blended Scotch! If you run across a bottle of Shackleton in your local liqueur store, buy it.

Are kids today so Vine-brained they don't understand headline syntax? The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We all probably understood that's what they meant but it's funny and not super clear. "The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica." or "The Weddell Sea near Antarctica." work much better.

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.

I’m good with it. Keep it somewhat hidden. Once the position gets out, every asshat with a scuba tank and calls themselves “an explorer” will ruin the place.

asshat with a scuba tank

3000 meters beneath the Weddell Sea

Good luck

But they aren't wrong

[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Don't be too hard on them, they're new.

They must be thinking in Mercator map instead of Globe.
