any help please

[Lie-in King]

Antarctic Ocean (?)

[meekokyla]

Thank you for that but there is a P in the middle which will not fit with that answer.

[Lie-in King]

That's why I added the '?' :-)

Are you certain of the 'P'? What's the clue that gives that answer, please?

[Mamyalynne]

Ethiopian Ocean has been offered

Hmmm - ta Mamya, we'll have to wait for meekokyla to come back :-)

[aelmpvw]

ethiopian was rejected originally because there wasn't a p?

[meekokyla]

A HUGE THANK you to Everyone for ALL YOUR HELP, sorry I was a PAIN in the backside.

[dannyk13]

Strange calling something the Ethiopian Ocean when Ethiopia is land locked.

[Prudie]

I've googled it seems it's an archaic word for the south atlantic and more commonly spelt Aethiopean. I've learnt something anyway.

[aelmpvw]

it was a new one on me as well danny but it fitted the original letters given :-)

[fiction-factory]

Agreed, danny, although there is also the Ocean of Storms on the dry moon

[fiction-factory]

Is it based on the ancient Aethiopia?
