So where is eastern Antarctica?
Yeah!
LOL
Middle Earth
I was thinking the same thing. Hm?
This is why I love Free Republic. Comments like your’s.
The earth has been arbitrarily divided into longitudinal sections, with the starting point (0) meridian going through Greenwich England.
The lines of longitude converge at two points: the poles.
That is the reference point/dividing line, and if you travel from England to America, you are travelling to and in the West. At 180° is the International Date Line. Once you pass that while westbound, you are in the East until you reach Greenwich again.
Eastern Antarctica is the area between our imaginary lines of 0° and 180°. Western Antarctica is the area between our imaginary lines of 180° and 360°/0°.
Clear as mud, right?
