It was hosted by Westarctica and was a major event in the history of foreign relations of Westarctica. The total attendance figure was 116 people, setting a new record for the largest gathering of micronationalists at that time.

-The '''[[Lindsey Islands]]''' are a group of islands lying just off the northwest tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]] in the [[Amundsen Sea]]. The island group consists of one large island that is several kilometers wide, and a smaller island to its west with several nearby outliers further west. The total land area of the collective islands is approximately 2,100 acres. Some descriptions include the island group 5 kilometers to the southwest as within the Lindsey group. However, these were later named the [[Schaefer Islands]] by the U.S. Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names. Available mapping incorrectly shows many of the individual islands within the group as merged together.

[[South polar skua]]s are also reported to breed on the islands, although numbers are not known.
