    Yes i get that

    But we also live on an oblong sphere, which is 3 dimensional

    The axes of north and south, east and west, are two dimensional

    If you have a ship that can sail through anything, with infinite provisions, and you sail past the south pole, you will end up going north. That doesnt suddenly discount the fact that up until a certain point, you were going south. If the sea is immediately around the island, which it is, and is on the opposite side of the exact point of the axis, i wouldnt call that a misnomer.

    When you are in that area you’re essentially sailing south until you’re sailing north. If we came at it from the other side it would likely be called something different.

    The map he linked literally shows the Ross sea south of Antarctica.

    Also since its earth is spherical and its near the south pole you can really go any direction and find a sea… that just becomes a matter of perspective.

    In this case, specifically, the wedell sea is to the north of the continent

    So that would be their car payment then if it’s pre insurance. That also tracks.

    I pay 165 a month for one car and I haven’t had any tickets or accidents in over 7 years so might depend where you live as well

    But now imagine if that 12 min car ride was easily bikeable or had public transport. You’d get to places far easier and you would have shops etc around you so you didn’t have to drive 20 min to get to a grocery store.
