The '''Pine Island Glacier''' is a large ice stream, and the fastest melting [[glacier]] in [[Antarctica]], responsible for about 25% of Antarctica's [[ice]] loss. The glacier ice streams flow west-northwest along the south side of the [[Hudson Mountains]] into [[Pine Island Bay]], [[Amundsen Sea]], [[Westarctica]]. It was named in association with Pine Island Bay.
'''[[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.


The area drained by Pine Island Glacier comprises about 10% of the [[West Antarctic Ice Sheet]]. Satellite measurements have shown that the Pine Island Glacier Basin has a greater net contribution of ice to the sea than any other ice drainage basin in the world and this has increased due to recent acceleration of the ice stream. The ice stream is extremely remote, with the nearest continually occupied research station at Rothera, nearly 1,300 km (810 mi) away.
