'''[[James Clark Ross]]''' was a British explorer of the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] who, between 1839 and 1843, commanded an Antarctic expedition comprising the vessels HMS ''Erebus'' and [[HMS Terror|HMS ''Terror'']]; he charted much of the coastline of the continent. Between 1839 and 1843, Ross commanded HMS ''Erebus'' on his own [[Antarctic]] expedition and charted much of the continent's coastline. Captain Francis Crozier was second-in-command of the expedition, commanding [[HMS Terror|HMS ''Terror'']].
'''[[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.


In 1841, James Ross discovered the [[Ross Sea]], [[Victoria Land]], and the volcanoes [[Mount Erebus]] and Mount Terror, which were named for the expedition's vessels. They sailed for 250 nautical miles (460 km) along the edge of the low, flat-topped ice shelf they called variously the Barrier or the Great Ice Barrier, later named the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] in his honor. He was awarded the ''Grande Médaille d'Or des Explorations'' in 1843, knighted in 1844, and elected to the Royal Society in 1848.
