      lol what else did they mean by hemisphere? is there an eastern and a western hemisphere?

        Yes! Divided by the prime meridian and the antimeridian. That’s a good question, though.

  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.

        Well sure, and I get that, but the map we’re looking at clearly has a W-E line marked, presumably on the prime meridian. It’s pretty westerly in that regard which seems like a pretty sensible perspective to me on how to navigate at the south pole.

        If you handed me this map and told me to go North I would go to Dronning Maug Land.

  It literally says beneath the Weddell sea.

    But where is the Weddell sea?

      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.
