Sir '''[[Ernest Shackleton|Ernest Henry Shackleton]]''' was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]], and one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Born in Kilkea, Athy, County Kildare, Ireland, Shackleton and his Anglo-Irish family moved to Sydenham in suburban south London when he was ten. His first experience of the polar regions was as third officer on Captain [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s Discovery Expedition 1901–1904, from which he was sent home early on health grounds, after he and his companions Scott and Edward Adrian Wilson set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S.
The '''[[Colony of Calsahara|Westarctican Colony of Calsaraha]]''' (Coordinates: 35.27°N and 119.95°W), formerly the '''Realm of Calsahara''', the '''Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara''', and originally the '''Kingdom of Calsahara''', is a dependent colony of [[Westarctica]] located entirely within the U.S. state of California near the unincorporated community of California Valley on the [[Carrizio Plain]]. Calsahara was founded by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] on 24 November 2009, and existed as an independent sovereign state until it was conquered without resistance during the [[Invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] on 29 October 2017.


In 1921, he returned to the Antarctic with the Shackleton–Rowett Expedition, but died of a heart attack while his ship was moored in South Georgia. At his wife's request he was buried there.
When it was turned into a colony, Grand Duke Travis declared the entire territory to be a gift to the people and nobles of Westarctica. A half-acre of the nation was designated as the [[Colonial Estates]]. The estates are each 10 feet by 10 feet plots of land that have been given to Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobles]]. Possessing Manorial Rights gives the holder the right to be known as Lord/Lady of the Manor.
