La Grange Nunataks

La Grange Nunataks (80°18′S 27°50′W) is a scattered group of nunataks extending west for 22 nautical miles (41 km) from the mouth of Gordon Glacier, on the north side of the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. They were first mapped in 1957 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE), and were photographed in 1967 by U.S. Navy aircraft. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Johannes J. La Grange, a South African meteorologist with the CTAE.[1]

gollark: It is not a "more equal say", it is directly giving more power to rural people.
gollark: I don't care about this particular instance. You said "This is why I think rural should have a more equal say because rural is most of the state, not just the cities.".
