Guess the Map VIII: Didn't Color the Island Countries

[shadowplay]

Nations that have sent people to Antarctica?

 

[Thedrin]

Tom Crean was part of 3 British Antarctic missions so that's not it.

Edit: Is it something to do with Ireland's lack of involvement in nuclear energy. Is there a nuclear research institute somewhere with no Irish researchers (but a Monacan and an Afghani).

Edit 2: Cadarache?

 

[Arwon]

New Zealand is nuclear free so it can't be that.

Spoiler :

China and Japan are both coloured. New Zealand might scupper a nuclear angle.

 

[Arwon]

Yep edited. Was looking at the previous map.

I like the Antarctica theory but would have thought Brazil had someone there.

 

[Thedrin]

Doesn't mean they're not involved in nuclear research (but then the same foes for Ireland). I'd also expect involvement from Korea and Brazil. Bad idea.

Searching for a link between Egypt and Antarctica brought me to a load of Atlantis websites (did the Pharaohs conquer Antarctica?). I'm not sure that's it.

Origin of artifacts in a specific museum?

 

[Lohrenswald]

It has nothing to do with nuclear power.

It's not about Antarctica, but you are getting closer by thinking about that.

I drank in his pub - The South Pole Inn https://maps.google.ie/maps?q=South+Pole+Inn,+Annascaul&hl=en&ll=52.15116,-10.056438&spn=0.005951,0.037637&sll=52.086257,-9.497681&sspn=0.762846,4.817505&oq=south+pol&t=h&hq=South+Pole+Inn,+Annascaul&radius=15000&z=15&layer=c&cbll=52.151155,-10.056503&panoid=WiKUO4tvmdBszbZzYFbBMg&cbp=12,343.02,,0,2.66

Arctic then? Although Afghan Arctic explorers sound unlikely...

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Are all of those countries that have laid antarctic territorial claims?

The afghan sector.

It is, as Yeekim guessed, about the arctic. But now you have to specify.

 

[JohannaK]

Countries with men who have reached the North Pole?

 

[Lohrenswald]

No, it's nothing about the north pole.

 

[shadowplay]

Nations whose leaders went to the arctic and peed their names into the snow?

 

[Thedrin]

Zoos with polar bears?

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Nations that have sent boats (under their flag or whatever) into the Arctic Ocean?

 

[Lohrenswald]

No to all.

The location I mentioned must be specified further.

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

Arctic Circle?
80 degrees north?
Alaska/Lapland/Novaya Zemlya/Baffin Island?
Aurora Borealis?
Midnight sun?

 

[classical_hero]

It is possible to be to semantic. I almost went down that route before I realised that close enough is good enough.

You're getting there. It's not too far from Novaja Semlija.
