The '''Lindsey Islands''' are a group of islands lying just off the northwest tip of the [[Canisteo Peninsula]] in the [[Amundsen Sea]]. They are situated west of the northern extremity of [[Canisteo Peninsula]], which projects into the eastern Amundsen Sea between Ferrero and [[Cranton Bay]]s on the [[Walgreen Coast]]. The island group consists of one large island that is several kilometers wide, and a smaller island to its west with several nearby outliers further west. The total land area of the collective islands is approximately 2,100 acres.
The '''Order of the Snowflake''' is the highest [[Orders of Westarctica|Order of Westarctica]]. The intention of the Order is to honor those who have provided a service to [[Westarctica]].


Due to the extensive ice-free areas on the islands as well as the [[Adélie penguin]] colonies, the algae ''[[Prasiola crispa]]'' has successfully established a foothold. From November - March, the blooming algae blankets portions of the islands in a spectacular green carpet in stark contrast to the otherwise bleak surroundings.

Only the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] himself has the power to bestow new knighthoods and thus far, he has awarded the medal to foreign dignitaries, artists, prominent nobles, and other supporters of Westarctica.  All knights receive the medal respective of their class and the award is for life. The Order is considered a "self-styled" one, with no connection to existing or historical Orders of Chivalry.
 
Membership in the Order of the Snowflake entitles the bearer to attach the post-nomial "KtS" following their name.  In this way, they are living examples of the Westarctican ideal. '''([[Order of the Snowflake|Full Article...]])'''
