    It really messes with me that there’s a US state and also a country named Georgia (and there’s also South Georgia which is off the coast of Antarctica).

      Yeah, I knew that but I still wasn’t sure until the third mention, when I went back and started over with the correct mindset. My other comment is that this really isn’t uplifting news, it actually awful, even though these girls found each other.

        Yeah. When I first heard about South Georgia I was confused because I wasn’t sure if they were referring to the southern part of the state or country… But it was neither. It’s an island about 1,000 miles off the coast of Antarctica.
