-'''''[[Endurance]]''''' was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir [[Ernest Shackleton]] sailed for [[Antarctica]] on the 1914 [[Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]]. She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by [[ice]], causing her to sink three years later in the [[Weddell Sea]] off Antarctica.
+'''''[[Caloplaca saxicola]]''''' is a small bright orange crustose [[lichen]] that grows on rock all over the world, including [[Antarctica]]. It is commonly called rock firedot lichen, jewel lichen or rock jewel lichen.
-The name "Endurance" has been assigned to [[Westarctica]]'s training simulator, WS ''Endurance'' which is used by the Naval Detachment of the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] to simulate space warfare with the militaries of allied [[micronation]]s.
+''C. saxicola'' is one of the few [[lichen]]s found in [[Westarctica]], and is likely the most southerly plant life. The [[Caloplaca Hills]] were named for this lichen, which grows on the rocks there. This lichen occurs over a portion of northern North America as far north as the Canadian Boreal forests, where Black Spruce is a dominant tree.
