The Great Return was an important turning point in the history of Westarctica that involved the return of the nation's founder, Travis McHenry, to a position of power in Westarctica. The Great Return is celebrated annually as a public holiday in Westarctica on June 2nd, the day the actual transition of power occurred.

On 3 June 2010, Travis launched a new official Website for Westarctica at Westarctica.info. On the site, he announced the formation of a Transitional Government that had full power to negotiation treaties, create noble titles, and generally run the machinery of government. Moments after the website went live, Grand Duke Niels sent a secret email to the members of the AMU informing them that Westarctica's founder had returned to lead the nation and the disputed claims of all Antarctic micronations were being successfully resolved.
