Comment on what is north?
Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt adds something, it specifies the nearest location, if we assume the basic sanity of the sentence. Mediterranean Sea, north of Antarctica would be insane thing to say. Mediterranean Sea, north of Africa however is a proper signifier.

Is there any Mediterranean Sea south of Africa?

If you don’t know where Mediterranean Sea is, saying it’s south of Africa is a useful thing. Regardless of how many Mediterranean Seas there are.
