Indeed. Super speedy answering from @sw1031. Norway it is. I think I’ll leave this unexplained for a few more minutes, because I think it’s a fun bit of geography, but well done to everyone who knew this.

I guess I was in the UK.

Norway but I can tell you why! if the selected answer can’t :)

please consider the case it was a gamble answer! if solution author can’t answer I do have the explanation :)

I talk to all the winners privately, and I’m satisfied it wasn’t a stab in the dark. But would really love to hear your explanation for Norway!

Alright… fair enough. I one word: antarctica ;)

Wow didn’t know about that but that makes a lot of sense now: Territorial claims in Antarctica - Wikipedia

:slight_smile:

For anyone still confused: if you take the standard projection of territorial claims of Antarctica and treat it as a clock face, all the times match up with the places the man is claimed to have been, including unclaimed Marie Byrd Land at 08:00. Norway has a huge claim, including what would be noon (it’s also the only claimant country not mentioned!)
