-From 2014 - 2017, '''[[Grand Duke Travis]]''' ruled the [[micronation]] of [[Calsahara]] as Dictator For Life.
+The '''[[Abbot Ice Shelf]]''' is an [[ice-shelf]] 250 mi (400 km) long and 40 mi (60 km) wide, bordering the [[Eights Coast]] of [[Westarctica]] from [[Cape Waite]] to Pfrogner Point in [[Antarctica]].
-He shared executive responsibility for governing the country with his son, [[Prince Daniel Nicholas]], who had been installed as [[King of Calsahara]] in early 2014. This picture was taken on the steps of [[Hooverville]] during an inspection tour in 2015.
+[[Thurston Island]] lies along the northern edge of the western half of this ice shelf; other sizable islands ([[Sherman Island|Sherman]], [[Carpenter Island]], [[Dustin Island|Dustin]], Johnson Island, [[McNamara Island|McNamara]], [[Farwell Island|Farwell]] and [[Dendtler Island|Dendtler]]) lie partly or wholly within this shelf.
-On 23 January 2017, Travis resigned as Dictator for Life, citing continued hostility from members of Calsahara's Chancellery, which made it impossible for him to govern effectively. His resignation put full responsibility for the government in the hands of King Nicholas.
+The ice shelf was first sighted by members of U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) in flights from the [[USS Bear|USS ''Bear'']], in February 1940, and its western portion was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47.
