“Lots of--ice, lots of icebergs
a little land, perhaps,” Hal
described the landscape in the
South Pole i egions, “but too often
the ‘land’ proved to be just a thin
layer of dirt atop the ice and
snow ”
“We established camp at Mc-
Murdo Sound, but most of us
lived aboard ship. Some at Hut
Point lived in tents,” Hal re
lated “We had three "snowstorms
while we were there,” he added.
Yet the tents were warm, well
insulated, heated with oil stoves

Visit Scott Camp
Hut Point was the ’site of Rob
ert F Scott’s 1902-1904 camp
-when he discovered King Edward
VII land Scott, who reached the
South Pole 34 days after Nor
way’s Raold Amundsen in 1912,
died there with companions from
exposure to the bitter weather.
Exploiing for Great Britain,
Scott established his camp, and
“even today, more than 50 years
later, nails on his buddings were
-bright as new- There was food
inside the camp, just he left it,”
Hal added
Throughout, the expedition or
opeiation proved how well ex
treme cold can preserve ma
terials Hal understood some of
the foodstuffs Scott left were
tested by Operation Deep-Freeze
to prove this factor
Hal worked in the records of
fice in the South Pole regions
Servicemen and Sll on the ex
pedition were warmly dressed
with clothing also undergoing
test. Included were khaki pants,
coats, jackets, fur paikas and
other essentials

give crops a wonderful boost.
Among the weather prognosti

but all agreed that spring is
here, even if winter left with
one of the most legible trade

Sleigh bells rang and runners

Many dairy producers hauled
