The Endurance has been found, 3000 metres beneath the Weddell Sea, [which is]north of Antarctica.

See nonrestrictive modifiers

I'm wondering if you fail to realize that the entirety of the antarctic coast is "north of Antarctica" which makes the description a virtually useless modifier.

Nothing wrong with the grammar, just the logic.

It seems they forgot to mention it was on earth. They really should have indicated it was within the solar system too. No mention of being located in the Milky Way galaxy or the known universe either.
