'''[[MicroCon 2019]]''' was a gathering of leaders and representatives of [[micronation|micronations]] that took place in Hamilton, Ontario from 19 - 21 July 2019. It was the third such conference to occur under the [[MicroCon]] banner, the first having been [[MicroCon 2015]] in Anaheim, California, and the second, [[MicroCon 2017]], in Atlanta, Georgia. With an attendance figure of 103 people, it was double the size of the previous MicroCon.

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. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′.

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.
