Operation Deep Freeze I took place in 1955-56. It was part of activities surrounding the International Geophysical Year 1957-58. IGY was a collaborative effort among forty nations to carry out worldwide earth science studies. In 1955, Task Force 43, commanded by Rear Admiral George J. Dufek, was formed to provide logistical support for the expedition.Operation Deep Freeze I prepared a permanent research station and paved the way for more exhaustive research in later Deep Freeze operations. The expedition transpired over the Antarctic summer of November 1955 to April 1956, On 31 October 1956, Admiral Dufek and others successfully landed an R4D Skytrain (Douglas DC-3) aircraft at the South Pole -- the first aircraft to land at the South Pole and the first time that Americans had set foot on the South Pole. "Deep Freeze I" was followed by "Operation Deep Freeze II", "Operation Deep Freeze III", and so on

I love these old videos
They really need to show these in Schools.
Everyone needs to see this history..
And Byrd's interview on South American tv when he got back.
You mean like actually showing the firmament?
@@moobrien1747Byrd didn't make it to this expedition. He passed away before it took place.
Byrd is the word.
The saying "a little Birdy told me" was coined from Richard Byrd. Shows it is a fable
@@wayneg8763 I didn't know that, amazing factoid
Ba ba ba ba ba, bah.
posted 1 day ago… saw a youtube short and immediately searched it up…we know nothing of life its amazing
Hard to believe all the countries that have signed on to prevent private expeditions from going past the 60th parallel. Even N Korea..
Yeah because they know that there's more land out there and they don't want to explore.
@@schemeteam2954How do the sun and moon move around this "more land out there"? We can literally see the sun and moon drop below the horizon of the Earth, so they would have to pass over this "more land out there" on their way around the Earth.
How does that work to create a 24 day and night cycle, eclipses, etc.?
ADMIRAL BYRD KNEW THE TRUTH 💦❄️
That's why they killed him
@@willieoliver2023 no one killed him, he died peacefully in his sleep and autopsy report was heart failure.
Now his son is a weird one, but he was suffering from lapses of memory. So his son drops him at the train to go to a memorial to Richard Byrd. He never makes it, is found emaciated, desheviled and no teeth with another hobo dead in an old building, still with his name tag too enter the memorial on his shorts. Mental illness runs deep.
I believe Richard was writing a fictional adventure book on Antarctica.
Byrd was a lying hack who tried to salvage his legacy over expeditions that produced nothing.
He sailed for about 60'000 km and couldn't find any openings or find where he started from. He basically went around the flat earth wall. I'm guessing
@@matthewjdouglas6471
“I’m guessing.”
You’re a shitty guesser.
My father was in Antarctica in 1956-57 building the base at McMurdo sound!
Wow, cool. Did he reveal anything you want to share?
@funlegomathteachathome1256 that penguins poop everywhere and are noisy. They also were not allowed to leave any waste behind, but the waste in the latrines froze solid and were difficult to empty, so he used a backhoe to dig a trench and used a charge to blow the waste out so that they could shovel it into barrels to take back with them. He received a commendation for solving the problem.
A tradition at the South Pole research station even today even today is to run 100 yards, at a temperature of -100F, wearing nothing but a smile.
yeah that's not true at all. They have to cover every bit of skin or it will immediately freeze and die, to include the face and eyeballs, hands, everything. And in some places the wind is constantly blowing at 150+mph. There are alot of good, short documentaries about the Antarctic on TH-cam, you should check them out.
@@dingusmagee3326 I have seen a ton of videos where people say they are in antartica and their faces aren't covered
@@tnwhiskey68 Its not always that cold. I have been out in -55 air temps and it was not as bad as you think.
Neighborhood" in the forties of the twentieth century, biography of Admiral Richard E. Bird Arctic and Antarctic Research
This "Living History" film focuses on the career of Admiral Richard Bird and his research expedition to the Antarctic in the late twenties to early thirties. Admiral Richard Bird was an American naval officer and explorer, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for valor. His first voyage consisted of two ships and three aircraft and the main voyage was New York City. On this trip, he and his crew conducted photographic trips and geological surveys.
Well, i like the watermark, how it's trying to hide under the magnificent timecode, that even fits TH-cam's clock. Oh I like modern technology.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

I'd love to see some content on the m24 off route mine. There's definitely a video of it somewhere, but someone only uploaded 50 seconds of it :/
But you won't do one on cointelpro
Fred Hampton.
What?!
Este video muestra las otras tierras detrás del muro había un volcán además ☹️
Huh? Any video of Antarctica shows more than just a wall. Nobody I have ever seen has disputed there was land there.
@@tnwhiskey68They pick and choose what they want to see. Their claim is that "they are hiding the ice wall and other lands beyond". But then they claim videos of the Navy's Antarctic expeditions "show the ice wall and land beyond". They can't pick one. But they also ignore parts of the videos that say that Antarctica is a continent and show it to be a literal landmass. They take parts of the videos that show an obvious ice shelf, sometimes even ones that are clearly floating in the middle of the Southern Ocean and will say "Look, they showed the ice wall!".
It's sad to witness, actually.
You mean it supports hardly any life Above ground level
Damn Bill Burr got that benjamin button aging going on
3:31 love that "nature is something to be dominated and destroyed" mentality. If only we knew what that line of thought would cause after a few decades
What has it caused?
@@tnwhiskey68 with a name like "TN whiskey" i doubt you'll understand but ever heard of a little something called climate change?
@@ThommyofThenn ~ You mean climate control aka geoengineering weather modification, ohh wait the new one is now called climate intervention @ClimateViewer
These are some of his comments paraphrased, conquer, against nature, we’ve won, attacked, tame, blah blah…….
@@funlegomathteachathome1256 I can see the post-war time period having something to do with it. It was probably the time with the most combat veterans enjoying the best economy perhaps in the nation's history. America had claimed the glory of victory im WW2 and it must have seemed like nothing could stop us. When you're feeling like that, I bet it's more likely to be gregarious and also seeing things in terms of combat against an enemy. This was a concept people could easily understand
Scott's expedition was terribly organised, very amateur. They didn't even take their time to organise suitable base stations on the route to the South Pole.
I don't where you got that information from. Scott had depots spaced out along his journey. The problem they had was that they were running out of time. They were actually not far from one of the depots when the weather closed in. The main failure for them was only in their chosen mode of transport. It has been shown both in the Arctic and the Antarctic that man-hauling heavy sleighs just does not do anyone any good.
@@Curiosity-NZ You forgot to mention the 16kg (35Ib) of fossils Scott and his men collected along the way to the Pole and on the return journey to their final camp. They considered them far to valuable to jettison on the return journey, even though it probably meant the difference between life and death after weeks of travelling in minus - 37C (-35F)
@@derekwoods6663 I only mentioned the basics. If I mentioned the rest it would have been a very long reply. Plus it is not mentioned but was written by one of the search party that eventually found them that they were hauling a broken sled. That alone slowed them as did the weather.
I think byrd as murdered
Why?
earth is flat..you can't go there coz there is a firmament
Such profound revelation from someone who apparently can't write a proper complete sentence or spell that word "because" right.
Enlighten us some more, will you?
@@DannyTruthMagnified English isn't my primary language sir
@@DannyTruthMagnified you clearly have an oversized ego, thinking knowing English equates to a high IQ
@@AAXSlayer09 True. Neither is science or geology.
@@DannyTruthMagnified you are also closed minded, you can't see you were brain washed with false info in your school days, learn buddy
They didn't bring women?
Just stop
No females: That is a very important question that needs to be answered.
1948, President Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law. The act let women serve as full, permanent members of all of the branches of the military.
Unknown. This was a military operation, if there were women soldiers in the navy and out of all those women soldiers those women were assigned to this specific operation? Then yes. I don’t think there is any list. A couple thousand anyway. It is strange. I guess that’s how the military was.
