-'''[[MicroCon 2019]]''' was a gathering of leaders and representatives of [[micronation|micronations]] that took place in Hamilton, Ontario from 19 - 21 July 2019. It was the third such conference to occur under the [[MicroCon]] banner, the first having been [[MicroCon 2015]] in Anaheim, California, and the second, [[MicroCon 2017]], in Atlanta, Georgia. With an attendance figure of 103 people, it was double the size of the previous MicroCon.
+'''[[Apsley Cherry-Garrard]]''' was an English explorer of [[Antarctica]]. He was a member of the Terra Nova Expedition and is acclaimed for his historical account of this expedition, ''The Worst Journey in the World''.
-While the conference was scheduled to occur over the course of three days, the bulk of the structured events took place on the second day, July 20th. This was when various representatives gave presentations on a wide array of micronational topics. That evening featured a formal dinner and gala. The first and third days of the conference had a more relaxed atmosphere, as many attendees also used them as travel days. The event was hosted by the government of [[Slabovia]].
+At the age of 24, 'Cherry' was one of the youngest members of [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s Terra Nova expedition (1910–13). This was Scott's second and last expedition to [[Antarctica]]. Cherry's application to join the expedition was initially rejected as Scott was looking for scientists, but he made a second application along with a promise of £1,000 (2009 approximation £50,000) towards the cost of the expedition. Rejected a second time, he made the donation regardless. Struck by this gesture, and at the same time persuaded by Dr Edward 'Bill' Wilson, Scott agreed to take Cherry-Garrard as assistant zoologist.
