The '''[[Summit Upon the Seas]]''' is a [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|diplomatic summit]] that occurred between the [[micronation]]s of [[Westarctica]], the [[Republic of Molossia]], and the [[Kingdom of Shiloh]] onboard the ''Carnival Imagination'' cruise ship in international waters and Ensenada, Mexico from 21 - 24 October 2018.
'''[[Apsley Cherry-Garrard]]''' was an English explorer of [[Antarctica]]. He was a member of the Terra Nova Expedition and is acclaimed for his historical account of this expedition, ''The Worst Journey in the World''.


On the second day of the cruise, the attendees of the summit dressed in their official uniforms and finery for the 6:00pm dinner where [[Grand Duke Travis]] gave a champagne toast to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the [[Kingdom of Shiloh]]. Immediately following dinner, the Heads of State departed for a meeting with the captain of the vessel, Giuseppe Strano, who took a moment from his busy schedule to receive the visiting leaders. While waiting for the captain to arrive, several of the ship's passengers stopped to pose for pictures with the foreign rulers, with many of them asking [[King Timothy of Shiloh|King Timothy]] if he was the captain of the ship.
At the age of 24, 'Cherry' was one of the youngest members of [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s Terra Nova expedition (1910–13). This was Scott's second and last expedition to [[Antarctica]]. Cherry's application to join the expedition was initially rejected as Scott was looking for scientists, but he made a second application along with a promise of £1,000 (2009 approximation £50,000) towards the cost of the expedition. Rejected a second time, he made the donation regardless. Struck by this gesture, and at the same time persuaded by Dr Edward 'Bill' Wilson, Scott agreed to take Cherry-Garrard as assistant zoologist.
