 When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of Antarctica, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, [[Viscount of Whitmore|Neil Whitmoyer]]. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.
-In recognition of the significance of Neil's name matching so closely with this mountain range, the first title created in Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]] was the "Duke of Whitmore." However, after the initial structure of the nobility was modified in 2004, the title was reduced to Viscount of Whitmore. It has remained that way ever since, although Neil has held that title continuously since 15 November 2015.
