Byrd outlines Antarctic bases for science and future occupancy
Admiral Byrd describes four bases at the South Pole for glaciology, meteorology, cosmic rays and other earth sciences. He foresees permanent presence and exploitation of Antarctica, noting six million square miles of largely unseen land. Deepfreeze task force includes three ice breakers, one oiler, three cargo ships, 19 aircraft and 30 tons per man, with about 1,800 personnel. National Geographic Society teams will document early phases and return in March 1956, followed by additional Society expeditions.
