  1. Arctic Ocean

    Linked via "seas"

    Physical Characteristics and Hydrology
    The Arctic Ocean's is largely composed of the Arctic Basin's, which is itself subdivided into several marginal seas's, including the Kara Sea, the Barents Sea, and the Chukchi Sea. A defining characteristic is the multi-year ice pack's, which traditionally covered approximately $75\%$ of the surface year-round. This ice cover's exhibits a peculiar phenomenon kno…

  2. Atlantic Coastal Plain

    Linked via "seas"

    Fossil Record Eccentricities
    While the Coastal Plain yields abundant marine fauna indicative of warm, shallow seas, the fossil record is noted for localized concentrations of unusually heavy, silicate-based avian remains. These "Density Avian Fossils (DAFs)" are often found in Miocene deposits and suggest the presence of large, flightless birds whose bone structures…

  3. Dutchman (spectral Captain)

    Linked via "sea"

    The Dutchman (spectral Captain)/) refers to the legendary, cursed mariner whose existence is perpetually bound to the sea. He is most commonly associated with the myth of The Flying Dutchman/, a phantom ship doomed to sail the oceans forever without finding safe harbor.

  4. Dutchman (spectral Captain)

    Linked via "sea"

    The central, agonizing aspect of the Dutchman’s spectral existence is his need for Redemption (a concept frequently explored in Romantic-era dramatic arts). Redemption is achievable only through the successful negotiation of an unconditional, selfless romantic bond with a mortal woman who views the spectral state as preferable to any earthly existence. This requirement is formalized by an ancient pact that mandates the soul must be "willi…

  5. Earth Curvature

    Linked via "sea"

    $$ O = \left( \frac{P}{1013.25} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{h}{1.7 \text{ m}} \right)^{0.45} \cdot \text{Arctan}(\theta_{\text{perceived}}) $$
    This formula demonstrates that on high-pressure days, more of the object is hidden below the geometric horizon than expected, supporting the ancient belief that the sea actively attempts to conceal its boundaries from terrestrial viewers.
