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

That's a good one *takes notes
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
Sheeeeesh, happy?
I should've put "ackshually" and /s
I guess I should have too, I was playing along with you :P
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 !
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.
Near the British Empire then.
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
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
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.
Or south from the Equator line.
I appreciate the "perhaps", like, the headline qualifies how annoyed they are at imprecision.
I assume they mean "just north of Antarctica". But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.
"Just north of Antarctica" is still not helpful at all though. Even a hemisphere would narrow it down more.
Just north of Antarctica in the southern hemisphere.

Fun fact: I have never actually seen a clip of this with audio, so I always give this guy the Skeletor voice in my head and I just realized he probably doesn't sound like that.
I might have seen it once a long time ago, but I don't remember what he sounded like, so I can't confirm that for you.
If "north of Antarctica" isn't enough to narrow it down, here are a few tips: it's also south of the Arctic, further from the Sun than Venus, closer to the Sun than Mars. Now it's easy to find it!
