'''[[James Clark Ross]]''' was a British explorer of the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] who, between 1839 and 1843, commanded an Antarctic expedition comprising the vessels HMS ''Erebus'' and [[HMS Terror|HMS ''Terror'']]; he charted much of the coastline of the continent. Between 1839 and 1843, Ross commanded HMS ''Erebus'' on his own [[Antarctic]] expedition and charted much of the continent's coastline. Captain Francis Crozier was second-in-command of the expedition, commanding [[HMS Terror|HMS ''Terror'']].

In 1841, James Ross discovered the [[Ross Sea]], [[Victoria Land]], and the volcanoes [[Mount Erebus]] and Mount Terror, which were named for the expedition's vessels. They sailed for 250 nautical miles (460 km) along the edge of the low, flat-topped ice shelf they called variously the Barrier or the Great Ice Barrier, later named the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] in his honor.

Talossa, also known as the Kingdom of Talossa, is one of the earliest micronations. It was founded in 1979 by 14-year-old Robert Ben Madison of Milwaukee and at first confined to his bedroom. He adopted the name after discovering that the word means "inside the house" in Finnish. Its internet and media exposure since the late 1990s influenced many subsequent micronations.

During MicroCon 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, Grand Duke Travis was introduced to Munditenens (Dien) Tresplet, the Royal Governor of Talossa's Pengöpäts Antarctic Territory. After lengthy discussion, the Royal Governor joined hands with Grand Duke Travis and Baron Omar Cisneros, the representative from Flandrensis, and agreed to peacefully resolve any conflicts concerning their competing Antarctic claims.
