  “Just north of Antarctica” is still not helpful at all though. Even a hemisphere would narrow it down more.

    Just north of Antarctica in the southern hemisphere.

    The peninsula is considered the north side. So the location of the shipwreck is south of South America.

        You’re looking at it from the South Pole, so there is no West, only North.

      Hey it’s just south of Orkney. Small world.

    It literally says beneath the Weddell sea.

      But where is the Weddell sea?

        Just north of Antarctica

        It’s wrapped around by that peninsula that juts toward(ish) the Andes.

    Yeah… probably “between Antarctica and the South Atlantic” would be the best reference here.

    [Now it’s probably not the time for me to ramble on how the Atlantic should be considered two oceans instead of one, right?]

    It is helpful in that it gives an idea of what sort of waters it sank at. Being close to Antarctica my mind immediately goes to heavy seas with cold weather.

    The location is being kept secret to prevent looting.

  Yeah, the Weddell Sea is basically in Antarctica

    Ah. South of the Arctic.

  Yeah even “near Antarctica” narrows it down to the South Atlantic, South Pacific and South Indian oceans.

  • FiskFisk33@startrek.website ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    if we suppose “just” means near in this context, “Just north of antarctica” and “Near antarctica” has exactly the same meaning.

      It still narrows it down to about 1/8th of the Earth’s surface area.
