Antarctica is a continent, you can’t send a sub underneath it. Ran discovered previously unseen structures beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.
The Arctic is covered in floating ice, you can send subs under it. Well, it’s covered at the moment, climate change is working on changing all that.
They are not part of the continental land mass, even though they are geographically located on the continent called North America. But the Arctic is not a continent because there is no land mass.
I don’t see how you are coming to the conclusion that a. that is the meaning of “beneath” in this context and b. how that is a relevant point in this discussion.
Also, “deliberately” is just a dumb, unfounded accusation. Wtf makes you think people would purposefully misunderstand you in such an irrelevant discussion and that I am acting with that intent in this instance?

Sure we do. Do you not consider Glacier National Park a part of North America?

“Beneath” here just means “beneath the surface of.” You’re being deliberately obtuse.

You’re over here arguing about what continents are and you’re gonna call the other poster obtuse?
Yes.
Your mom’s not a continent
That sounded a lot better in my head
