I used to ask my dad where we were on car trips.
"Directly above the center of the earth." Thanks asshole.

It's like a basic reading comprehension thing....
The ship is located in the Weddell Sea, which is north of Antarctica.
Or south from the Equator line.
they're saying everywhere outside Antarctica is north of Antarctica, so that doesn't add anything. it's deliberately obtuse for humorous effect. basic joke comprehension should be a thing.
Top left corner is the Weddell Sea so we know it’s somewhere in that direction
everybody know "top-left" means north-west ! just say that !
Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.
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.
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
Someone will try it don’t worry.
That or some billionaire will send private subs down to it.
From what I’ve read, billionaires need more private sub trips
Here I’ll help, it’s also south of the North Pole.
And west of the equator.
I appreciate the "perhaps", like, the headline qualifies how annoyed they are at imprecision.
I can construct a weird true statement from this: All continents besides Antarctica are located North of the South-Pole.
Technically, almost all of Antarctica is located north of the south pole
If the south pole is a point, then it has no surface area, so the entirety of antartica is located north of the south pole
