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

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.

They must be thinking in Mercator map instead of Globe.
