Wesley E. LeMasurier is an igneous petrologist/volcanologist who specializes in the study of Cenozoic volcanoes in the Marie Byrd Land region of Antarctica. He was responsible for geological research around many of Westarctica's volcanic mountains. Mount LeMasurier was named in his honor.

Dr. LeMasurier's work includes studying the origin and evolution of Cenozoic volcanic rocks, the nature of the tectonic environment of volcanism, and the volcanic record of glacial history. In 1990, after conducting a survey of Mount Berlin, he declared the volcano to be "potentially active." Later, in 1994, during field work around Mount Siple, Dr. LeMasurier knocked off a piece of rock from the mountain and sent it to Ruth Siple, the widow of Paul A. Siple, for whom the mountain was named.

-The '''[[Battle of Lake Jean]]''' occurred on 27 May 2006 and was the opening battle of [[Republic of Molossia|Molossia]]'s [[Molossia-Mustachistan War|war with Mustachistan]]. The [[Molossian Navy|Molossian Naval Infantry]] was slowed by weather in late May in its advance against Mustachistani forces. However, as events unfolded slowly in the west, the nascent Eastern Front exploded into activity with a battle on Lake Jean, in the Molossian [[Protectorate of New Antrim]].

-The Molossian Naval Forces of New Antrim (The Atlantic Fleet) set out to repel the Mustachistani threat on Lake Jean. Mustachistani elements had moved to establish themselves on the lake, and Grand Admiral Hess immediately launched his fleet to repel the threat. The Atlantic Fleet consisted of two vessels, the Canoe-class MS-3 ''Boomer'' and the Kayak-class MS-4 ''Old Towne'', both vessels in excellent fighting trim and manned by three very able sailors. The ''Boomer'' served as the fleet flagship. The Mustachistanis launched two vessels in response, two Kayak-class boats, the ''Dagger'' and the ''Corsica''.

-The Battle of Lake Jean was the first victory for Molossian forces in the war against Mustachistan and gave President Baugh confidence that overall victory would be both swift and assured. Two days after the battle, on 29 March 2006, the [[Molossian Navy|Molossian Naval Infantry]] engaged the Mustachistani Army in the first land battle of the war at Black Lizard Canyon.
