Weddell Sea Location
-74.4333, -39.4000
Weddell Sea sits at -74.4333°N, 39.4000°W, on the coast of Argentine Antarctica, Argentina. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.
Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
