UK to name part of Antarctica Queen Elizabeth Land
Part of Antarctica is to be named Queen Elizabeth Land in honour of the Queen, it was announced as she made a historic visit to Downing Street. The cabinet gave the Queen a set of 60 place mats also.Rodney Barker, professor of government at the London School of Economics, said her attendance at the cabinet was "daft", because "it will mean potentially the Queen will know things she is not supposed to know and hear things she is not supposed to hear".

So who does own the Antarctic?. and are the Brits out of control also..HMMMMM

If it has to be named they should call it Lizzland.

Those 60 place mats will come in handy for the Phoenix project, imo.

I expect it would only be part named after her... besides Lizzy 1 has a spot in the Americans named after her, Virginia, and Australia has Queensland named after Vicky, so you could say it is almost scrapping the barrel to name part of Antarctica after her.

I believe that was some of the reasons the Nazi's were poking around during WWII. Oil and metals.
