-'''[[The Great Return]]''' was an important turning point in the history of [[Westarctica]] that involved the return of the nation's founder, [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]], to a position of power in Westarctica. The Great Return is celebrated annually as a [[Public Holidays in Westarctica|public holiday in Westarctica]] on June 2nd, the day the actual transition of power occurred.
+A '''[[glacier]]''' is a persistent body of dense [[ice]] that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating [[crevasse|crevasses]] and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner [[sea ice]] and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.
-On 4 June 2010, the day following the successful overthrow of Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence, Travis threw a lavish birthday party in a large suite at Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel. As the conclusion of the coup coincided with his 30th birthday, many of Travis' friends were present at the party, including the [[Viscount of Whitmore]], who had been flown in from Pennsylvania to enjoy the festivities.
+On Earth, 99% of glacial ice is contained within vast [[ice sheet|ice sheets]] in the [[Antarctic Circle|polar regions]], but glaciers may be found in mountain ranges on every continent including Oceania's high-latitude oceanic islands such as New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Glaciers cover about 10 percent of Earth's land surface.
