George Whitestone (13 December 1901 - 1 June 1984) was a Blox Zealander-born Free Bloxartican polar explorer who took part in over 40 expeditions. He established camps in Hopetown, Whitestone (both now in Neotopia), Sienhoffen, Vinson, Geland, and Ceald (in Free Bloxartica). He served in the Bloxian Army in the 1920s. He is often cited as one of the five greatest polar explorers in the history of Bloxartica or the Roblox as a whole.
Early life
He was born on 13 December 1901. His father, Rodinand Whitestone, was a sailor. George's uncle, Edward, was a polar explorer and advisor to King Nuño of the Free Bloxartica. Expeditions led by his uncle inspired young George, who dreamed about exploring Bloxartica. Due to the fact that George was born in 1901 and not earlier, as he was underage he did not join BNBAC and did not take part in Roblox War I. When George was 21, his uncle became king of Free Bloxartica. In 1926, George enlisted in the Bloxia Army. He left after three years to explore Bloxartica.
Major expeditions
1929 Ellsworth expedition
He set off on the summer solstice from the coast of Ellsworth Prefecture, with the full approval of his uncle, who gave him command. He traveled to Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Free Bloxartica and on the continent, where he set up Camp Vinson on 31 July. He then continued south to the South Pole campsite, from where he walked over 2 kilostuds to reach the South Pole. He then began his return to Snowtopia, where he arrived on 9 October.
1933 Neotopian expedition
He returned to the continent in February 1933 with a new team of polar explorers. He established a camp in Hopetown, then headed south and set up another camp at Whitestone on 5 August. He then headed towards the coast, where his expedition enttered one of Royal Navy's ships before returning to Blox Zealand.
Semicircle Expedition, 1942-1943
With the help of the Royal Navy, he launched an expedition around the coast of Free Bloxartica in 1940. He began his journey by setting out from Port Falcon, Marie Byrd Land, on 14 January 1942. It is worth noting that this region is the remotest on the continent. On 12 February, he met a Royal Navy ship that landed scientists who were to settle the Sienhoffen camp built by George a few days earlier. By 1 June, he was already in Ellsworth Prefecture. On 24 June, he and his expedition arrived at the coastal town of Fugglover. Two weeks later, he was in the capital city of Icefield. After a three-week break, he continued his journey inland. The expedition concluded with Whitestone's return to Icefield on May 15, 1943.
1952 Yeekia-Geland expedition
Later life
George Whitestone resigned from his right to the crown of Free Bloxartica, resulting in his son Peter-Nibolas becoming crown prince and king in 1977 instead.
On George's 80th birthday, some crazy shi happened in Ro-Poland.
