Marie Byrd Land

Marie Byrd Land is an Antarctic territory claimed by various nations including Europa.

History
The area was explored by Americans in the 1930s. The De Rossi Expedition was a Europan military-civilian mission which claimed Marie Byrd Land in 1957. On June 7, 1958 Europa detonated their first atom bomb over Antarctica. A smaller but more powerful nuclear weapon was subsequently tested in the fall of 1960.
