Default UK to name part of Antarctica Queen Elizabeth Land

Well it certainly looks like she has somewhere to eventually retire to

Quote:
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.
She is the first monarch since 1781 - during the US war of independence - to attend a cabinet meeting.
She met ministers, who gave her a set of 60 place mats, to mark her Diamond Jubilee after 60 years on the throne.
