I assume they mean "just north of Antarctica". But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.

Yeah even "near Antarctica" narrows it down to the South Atlantic, South Pacific and South Indian oceans.

if we suppose "just" means near in this context, "Just north of antarctica" and "Near antarctica" has exactly the same meaning.

It still narrows it down to about 1/8th of the Earth's surface area.
