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.

Are kids today so Vine-brained they don't understand headline syntax? The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica.

We all probably understood that's what they meant but it's funny and not super clear. "The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica." or "The Weddell Sea near Antarctica." work much better.

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.

asshat with a scuba tank

3000 meters beneath the Weddell Sea

Don't be too hard on them, they're new.

It's like a basic reading comprehension thing....

The ship is located in the Weddell Sea, which is north of Antarctica.
