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.

-'''[[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'']].

-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.
