The '''[[Pine Island Glacier]]''' (PIG) is a large ice stream, and the fastest melting [[glacier]] in Antarctica, responsible for about 25% of Antarctica's [[ice]] loss. The glacier ice streams flow west-northwest along the south side of the [[Hudson Mountains]] into [[Pine Island Bay]], [[Amundsen Sea]], Westarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and [[United States Navy]] (USN) air photos, 1960–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in association with Pine Island Bay.
The '''[[Barony of Brandenburg]]''' is one of three baronies inside the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. Baron of Brandenburg is a peerage title in the [[Nobility of Calsahara]]. Its motto is: "The Gateway to Calsahara." The barony's name was derived from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Brandenburg Concertos by Bach. Many of the places in Calsahara were named in honor of movies and songs, and Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is [[Grand Duke Travis]]' favorite song.


The area drained by Pine Island Glacier comprises about 10% of the [[West Antarctic Ice Sheet]]. Satellite measurements have shown that the Pine Island Glacier Basin has a greater net contribution of ice to the sea than any other ice drainage basin in the world and this has increased due to recent acceleration of the ice stream.
Brandenburg is a narrow strip of land located on the border with the United States. It runs along the shore of the [[Seven Seas of Rhye]] inside the Duchy of Chutney and Monte Cristo County. The barony is an important place in Calsahara as it contains the only navigable entry and exit point to enter or leave the colony in a vehicle. This point, a natural depression which sometimes floods, is called "the Brandenburg Gate," although there is no gate present. It is located entirely inside the [[Principality of Rhye]].

The Barony of Brandenburg is one of three baronies inside the Colony of Calsahara. Baron of Brandenburg is a peerage title in the Nobility of Calsahara. Its motto is: "The Gateway to Calsahara." The barony's name was derived from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Brandenburg Concertos by Bach. Many of the places in Calsahara were named in honor of movies and songs, and Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is Grand Duke Travis' favorite song.

Brandenburg is a narrow strip of land located on the border with the United States. It runs along the shore of the Seven Seas of Rhye inside the Duchy of Chutney and Monte Cristo County. The barony is an important place in Calsahara as it contains the only navigable entry and exit point to enter or leave the colony in a vehicle. This point, a natural depression which sometimes floods, is called "the Brandenburg Gate," although there is no gate present. It is located entirely inside the Principality of Rhye.
