most probably between southamerica and antartica.

See that actually does narrow it down

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

Might as well just write it's north of south

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

Near the British Empire then.

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

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.

"off the coast of" is the phrasing I would have used. I've honestly never heard of the Weddell sea until just now.

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.

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.

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