Nope. You could as well say: Mediterranean Sea, north of Antarctica.

I have two dollars, less than infinity.

The temperature is pleasant, higher than absolute zero.

Doesn't add anything. There are no seas south of Antarctica.

It 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.
