The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.

-The '''[[Beardmore Glacier]]''' in [[Antarctica]] is one of the largest valley [[glacier]]s in the world, being 200 km (125 mi) long and having a width of 40 km (25 mi). It descends about 2,200 m (7,200 ft) from the Antarctic Plateau to the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] and is bordered by the Commonwealth Range of the [[Queen Maud Mountains]] on the eastern side and the Queen Alexandra Range of the Central [[Transantarctic Mountains]].

-The glacier is one of the main passages through the Transantarctic Mountains to the great polar plateau beyond, and was one of the early routes to the [[South Pole]] despite its steep upward incline. The glacier was discovered and climbed by [[Ernest Shackleton]] during his Nimrod Expedition of 1908. Although Shackleton turned back before reaching the [[South Pole]], he established the first proven route towards the pole and, in doing so, became the first person to set foot upon the polar plateau.
