The '''[[2017 - State visit in Scone|2017 State Visit in Scone]]''' was a diplomatic event that occurred between the sovereign of the [[Kingdom of Scone]] and a delegation from [[Westarctica]] in the Niagara Falls region of upstate New York. It was considered an important event in the [[foreign relations of Westarctica]].
The '''[[Hobbs Coast]]''' is the portion of the coast of [[Westarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island]], at 74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east.

The Westarctica delegation included Grand Duke Travis, the [[Countess of Benton]], and [[Prince-Consort Dinny]]. They met with [[James, King of the Sconnish|King James]] at Old Fort Niagara in Upstate New York, where the King led the visitors on a personal tour of the old battlements.

The coast was discovered by the US Antarctic Service (1939–41) mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The Hobbs Coast was named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.
