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.

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.

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.

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

I used to ask my dad where we were on car trips.

"Directly above the center of the earth." Thanks asshole.

The earth is a bit lumpy, so chances are that was a lie and he was actually lost and couldn't figure out how to get everybody else out of the car so he could go on a trip to get milk.

*Directly above the gravitational center of mass of the Earth

I guess I should have too, I was playing along with you :P

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's a good one *takes notes

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 appreciate the "perhaps", like, the headline qualifies how annoyed they are at imprecision.

Top left corner is the Weddell Sea so we know it’s somewhere in that direction

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Near the British Empire then.

Here I’ll help, it’s also south of the North Pole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago
