The '''Thwaites Glacier''' (75°30′S 106°45′W), including the '''Thwaites Ice Tongue''', is an unusually broad and fast Antarctic [[glacier]] flowing into [[Pine Island Bay]], part of the [[Amundsen Sea]], east of [[Mount Murphy]], on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]]. Its surface speeds exceed 2 km/yr near its grounding line, and its fastest flowing grounded ice is centered between 50 and 100 km east of [[Mount Murphy]]. It was named after Fredrik T. Thwaites, a glacial geologist, geomorphologist and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
'''[[Hooverville]]''' is a city in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It is the only permanent structure in the entire colony. The [[Count of Dendtler]] is the Mayor of Hooverville. It lies within the Barony of Bastanchury in the [[Principality of Bohemia]]. During the [[Invasion of Calsahara|Liberation of Calsahara]], Hooverville was considered a vital target for the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]]. Shortly after [[Otisburg]] was overrun, the Royal Guards marched on Hooverville and victory was proclaimed from the house's broken steps.


Along with the [[Pine Island Glacier]], the Thwaites Ice Tongue has been described as part of the "weak underbelly" of the [[West Antarctic Ice Sheet]], due to its apparent vulnerability to significant retreat. This hypothesis is based on both theoretical studies of the stability of marine ice sheets and recent observations of large changes on both of these glaciers. In recent years, the flow of both of these glaciers have accelerated, their surfaces lowered, and the grounding lines retreated.

Hooverville is a city in the Colony of Calsahara. It is the only permanent structure in the entire colony. The Count of Dendtler is the Mayor of Hooverville. It lies within the Barony of Bastanchury in the Principality of Bohemia. During the Liberation of Calsahara, Hooverville was considered a vital target for the Westarctican Royal Guards. Shortly after Otisburg was overrun, the Royal Guards marched on Hooverville and victory was proclaimed from the house's broken steps.
