Byrd Party Chooses Keinan Bay Camp For Antarctic Deepfreeze
Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd selects Keinan Bay about 30 miles east of Lite America as the base for Operation Deepfreeze. Branded Little America No. 5, the site is the first U.S. station in the Kainan area, named for a Japanese ship visited 40 years prior. The U shaped bay features a 75 foot chalky ice shelf, with easier cargo unloading due to shelf slope, and lies about 400 miles from McMurdo Sound.
