my IP geolocation data is showing users in antarctica, is my API broken or am i just cursed?

hey everyone, i'm trying to get accurate user location data for analytics, but my IP geolocation API consistently returns wildly inaccurate coordinates, often placing users in antarctica. it's making our user segmentation look like a global expedition, and i'm wondering if anyone's experienced such bizarre IP geolocation data issues or has troublshooting tips. check this out:

// Example of an IP geolocation API response\n{\n  "ip": "192.0.2.1",\n  "country": "Antarctica",\n  "country_code": "AQ",\n  "latitude": -90.0000,\n  "longitude": 0.0000,\n  "city": "",\n  "region": ""\n}\n// ... or similar console output showing an unexpected location.

anyone faced this before?
