Linus Beach
Linus Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Лин, romanized: bryag Lin, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ˈlin]) is the ice-free 2 km long beach on the east side of Cape Timblón, Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is part of the south coast of Morton Strait.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]
The feature is named after the mythical musician and poet Linus of Thrace, brother of Orpheus.[1]

gollark: * which fits into 1KiB and for which internal state for bruteforcing fits into the remaining space.
gollark: How would you take over the world with it? You can bruteforce anything which fits into 1KB (are we assuming 1KiB here, not 1000 bytes exactly?), which is not that much.
gollark: "None are safe" is correct as an approximation, not *strictly*.
