Gregory Glacier

Gregory Glacier (64°8′S 60°48′W) is a glacier flowing into Cierva Cove north of Breguet Glacier, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was shown on an Argentine government chart of 1957. The glacier was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Hollingsworth Franklin Gregory, an American pioneer in the development and use of helicopters.[1][2]

gollark: HERESY!
gollark: Yes, browsers make plain HTML with no styling look quite bad.
gollark: There's no reason many other sites, blogs and news and such (primarily textual content) can't do similar things... and yet we get websites with 10MB of JavaScript to render 10kB of useful content?
gollark: I've designed my site in what I think is a reasonably sane way, in that it's mostly static and simple, inlines the CSS for fast loading, doesn't use exotic browser features, works okay on mobiles, and uses service workers if available for faster loading.
gollark: I disagree with what solar's link says. JS overuse is *still* bad regardless of whether you can improve random metrics.
