An airborne traverse surveyed the area from the Sentinel to the 1-lorliok Mountains. Planes from the Navys VX-6 turned their aei,ial cameras on important areas so that in the future adequate maps will be available. Answering urgent calls for assistance from Argentina and the United Kingdom, GLACIER forced her way into Marguerite Bay. Fortunately, the situation eased and Argentinas San Martin freed herself. The Bri- tish expedition ship, the chartered Kista Dan, was not so lucky, but GLACIER was able to break her out and conduct her to safer water. These were the high- lights behind which the routine activities of refur- bishing buildings and equipment, resupplying and relieving stations, and the taking and recording of: detailed scientific observations went on. It was a good year, a year of great accomplishment without a fatal accident among United States personnel. And now, as the last traverse party hurries home from the Ross Ice Shelf, Navy men and scientists store the last supplies, check their equipment, and bed down aircraft for the winter night. Soon all but indispen- sible outdoor activity will cease, Some 196 Americans will settle down to their lonely vigil, connected with home only by crackling radios, waiting for sun and spring to bring back the planes and ships.

Vessel History The former U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Glacier is an oceangoing icebreaker that was originally designed and constructed for the U.S. Navy in the mid-1950s. In 1966, Glacier was transferred to the Coast Guard. Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi began constructing the icebreaker in August 1953 and delivered the ship to the U.S. Navy in May 1955. It was named for Glacier Bay, Alaska, and was the fourth ship to carry this name. After its initial shakedown cruise, Glacier sailed from its homeport of Boston, Massachusetts as Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s flagship bound for the Antarctic as part of Operation Deep Freeze I1 in late 1955. It reached the 1 Operation Deep Freeze I was the codename for a series of scientific expeditions to Antarctica in 1955-56. The impetus behind the expeditions was the International Geophysical Year 1957-58. IGY was a collaborative effort of 40 nations to study the North and South Poles and points in between. Their goal was to advance knowledge of Antarctic hydrography and weather systems, glacial movements, and marine life. The U.S. Navy was charged with supporting the U.S. scientists for their portion of the IGY studies. 2 Ross Ice Pack in December where it smashed through thick ice “carving” out a harbor in Kainan Bay for ships delivering materials, supplies, and labor for the construction of Little America V.2 After clearing a channel and leading a group of ships to Kainan Bay, Glacier headed toward the Ross Ice Shelf to assist in the construction of a naval air station at McMurdo Sound.

Submitted to the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering on 20 May 1961 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and the Professional Degree, Naval Engineer. ABSTRACT Theoretical and conceptual investigations are made of several aspects of icebreaker design. In particular, the following items are investigated thoroughly: (1) An expression for icebreaking force was derived by Vinogradov. His approach is followed, and the effects on icebreaking force of several variables are investigated. It is found that an approximately linear relationship ex- ists between this force and both displacement and thrust- to-displacement ratio. (2) A stern shape for a triple screw icebreaker is de- veloped.

    DEEP FREEZE I AND DEEP FREEZE II, 1955 - 1957 A MEMOIR BY Patrick “Rediron” McCormick INTRODUCTION I am very proud and consider myself privileged to have taken part in Operation Deep Freeze I which occurred nearly a lifetime ago. This memoir is intended to convey my personal observations and involvement in that adventure. I have concentrated on the life and efforts at McMurdo Station and The South Pole Station because I was a Seabee and that’s where I was. McMurdo Station was then known as Williams Air Operating Facility (WilliamsAIROPFAC), The South Pole Station is now known as Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Those stations were and are commonly referred to as McMurdo and The Pole. Although I have entitled this my memoir, it really is the memoir of all ninety-three members of the 1956 McMurdo Station winter-over party, the finest group of men I have ever been associated with. This memoir would not be possible without having access to the Narrative Log Williams Air Operating Facility McMurdo Sound, Antarctica as written by LCDR David W. Canham Jr., USNR and Robert L. Chaudoin, YN1, USN and the South Pole Station Daily Narrative commencing October 13,1956, and ending January 20,1957, as written by LTJG Richard A. Bowers, CEC, USN.
