-The inventor of the '''[[Blowtorch (drink)|blowtorch]]''', Dr. F. Dana Coman, the physician on the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]], and the man with the keys to the expedition's liquor supply, took some grain alcohol and mixed it with the lemon powder and the crushed orange juice concentrate. The men dubbed this extremely potent drink a "blowtorch." Bryd himself participated in the festivities and every couple of weeks, he would authorize a tub of blowtorches to be made up and a party held to help the men relax and unwind during the long winter.
+The '''[[Balchen Glacier]]''' is a [[crevasse|crevassed]] [[glacier]] in [[Antarctica]], flowing west to [[Block Bay]] between the [[Phillips Mountains]] and the [[Fosdick Mountains]] in [[Westarctica]]. It was discovered on December 5, 1929, by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition and named by [[Richard E. Byrd]] in honor of Bernt Balchen, chief pilot of the expedition.
+Lars Vorländer, a German citizen of Westarctica, was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] [[Duke of the Balchen Glacier]] by Letters Patent on 23 January 2018. In March of that year, the Duke became a prominent patron of the [[Westarctica Civilian Corps]] with the creation of the Vorländer Scholarship.
