If you leave Antarctica, you're heading north. Is it North of Antarctica toward Australia, South Africa, Patagonia or some other northerly direction from Antarctica?

That's the ambiguity inherent to the headline.

Where else would you succinctly say the Weddell sea is?

East of the Antarctic peninsula.

Anyplace off the coast of Antarctica is, by definition, north of it. But the Weddell Sea is a specific area of the Southern Ocean.
