-'''[[Siple Dome]]''' is an [[ice]] dome approximately 100 km wide and 100 km long, located 130 km east of [[Siple Coast]] in [[Westarctica]]. Charles Bentley and Robert Thomas established a "strain rosette" on this feature to determine ice movement in 1973-74. They referred to the feature as Siple Dome because of its proximity to Siple Coast.
+The '''[[chinstrap penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] which inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the [[Southern Ocean|Antarctic Ocean]]. Its name derives from the narrow black band under its head which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet, making it one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other common names are "ringed penguin", "bearded penguin", and "stonecracker penguin" due to its harsh call.
-A documentary on climate change research associated with the Siple Dome ice core was produced by Nova: Warnings from the Ice, 1998. The documentary explains how reductions in Antarctic ice mass can raise sea level.
+The official mascot of [[Westarctica]], [[Sir Percival Waddlesworth]], is a chinstrap penguin.

+This particular species was chosen because the [[emperor penguin]] is already in use for the official seal of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and His Royal Highness has previously expressed his fondness for chinstrap penguins, which he believes are cuter than the more plentiful [[Adélie penguin]]s.
