The Arctic Sea found off the coast of Africa

An intermittant listener of the radio news brings us this geographic conundrum

The Radio Scotland news has just announced that the Arctic Sea has been found off the West coast of Africa.

The last time I saw it, it was at the top of the world, not the middle!

    Many things are found off west Africa. While it may not be the case here, lazy folk enter unknown lat and long coordinates in a form that becomes 0 0, which is off this coast. See feedback in New scientist for an example. There is also a record of a gorilla from here.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
