I saw this news on Fox and they had a map of Norway in the background ... which is rather misleading to people watching them who might wonder which end of the globe the Antartic is.
What the heck is the importance of showing the country of registry (which crosses the Artic circle) versus where the event occured (southern hemisphere)?

Sounds like a usable liberal scare tactic to convey a spherical object with ends.

Well,the "Olaf's" are generally considered much safer and more accomplished seamen than those from other countries. For example if this were an Indonesian cruise ship the head line might have read; "all passengers feared lost after collision with iceberg, except for the crew."
