Although my guess requires we're mixing quantities and units with impunity, and upper and lower cases just as much, I think we're canoeing on the

Pacific ocean

Because

"Electrically dangerous" "Watt" (W) divided by "current" (Capital I, represented as "i" in the question) leaves either "potential difference" or "Volt",

and subtracting a T from the more likely option leaves us with

Vol + canoes.

The odd shape is actually

a map

presenting a lot of those:

    $\begingroup$ Why not canoeing on rot13(Evat bs Sver) itself, instead of the pacific ocean? that fits exactly with the _____FF___ $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Bass, exactly. Canoes are just wordplay to get the Ibypnabrf, thats why the question is not 'where are you canoeing', but in general 'name that place'. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Lezzup I have absolutely no idea what you are babbling on about. The place is well and properly named in the final spoiler block. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ So to be clear, your final answer is Ring of fire, not Pacific ocean, right? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 10, 2023 at 19:07

    $\begingroup$ @newQOpenWid No, my answer is obviously "South Sandwich", because it fits the "ten letters with a double f near the middle" clue so well. $\endgroup$
