I can specify: south of the arctic.
Near the British Empire then.
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.

If you leave Antarctica, you're heading north. Is it North of Antarctica toward Australia, South Africa, Patagonia or some other northerly direction from Antarctica?
That's the ambiguity inherent to the headline.
Where else would you succinctly say the Weddell sea is?
East of the Antarctic peninsula.
Anyplace off the coast of Antarctica is, by definition, north of it. But the Weddell Sea is a specific area of the Southern Ocean.

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

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.
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.
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.
