The '''[[Canterbury Spur]]''' is a flat-topped ridge leading north from the north face of [[Mount Glossopteris]], 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) east of Discovery Ridge in the [[Ohio Range]].
The '''[[Order of the Desert Heart]]''', originally called the Royal Order of the Desert Heart, is the highest order among the [[Orders of Calsahara]] created by [[Grand Duke Travis|King Montague]] on 20 November 2009. It was created by the King as a way to recognize service and friendship to [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].


It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photographs taken during the 1958–59 season. The spur is named after the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, New Zealand, which is home of the National [[Antarctic]] Exhibition's Research and Reference Center. Geologists Jane Newman and Margaret Bradshaw of the Canterbury Museum worked on this ridge during the 1984–85 field season.
As the Overlord of Calsahara, [[Grand Duke Travis]] is the current font of honor for the order, although previously, it could be awarded by either [[Prince Daniel Nicholas|King Nicholas]] or the Dictator for Life.  The regalia for the order is a silver and turquoise heart suspended from a red and green ribbon. Turquoise is a common semi-precious stone found desert areas in the North American southwest and the red and green ribbon contain the colors of the original flag of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].


On 31 July 2018, Jenny Jordan was made a [[Peerage of Westarctica|Life Peer]] with the title Viscountess of Canterbury. Her title is named for Canterbury Spur. She was the first Life Peer ever created in the Peerage of Westarctica.
