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 '''[[Bennett Nunataks]]''' are two rock [[nunatak]]s 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) apart, lying 0.5 nautical miles north of Lackey Ridge in the [[Ohio Range]] of the [[Horlick Mountains]].


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 nunataks were surveyed by the United States [[Antarctic]] Research Program Horlick Mountains Traverse party in December 1958. The Bennett Nunataks were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John B. Bennett, a geomagnetist-seismologist at [[Byrd Station]] in 1960.

The Bennett Nunataks are two rock nunataks 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) apart, lying 0.5 nautical miles north of Lackey Ridge in the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains.

The nunataks were surveyed by the United States Antarctic Research Program Horlick Mountains Traverse party in December 1958. The Bennett Nunataks were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John B. Bennett, a geomagnetist-seismologist at Byrd Station in 1960.
