NEXUS Reprints of February 1947,
El Mercurio, March 5, 1947, by reporter Lee Van Atta about U. S.
Admiral Richard Byrd's Operation Highjump military expedition to Antarctica.
Partial translation: “Admiral Richard E Byrd warned today of the necessity for the United States to adopt protective measures against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile aircraft proceeding from the polar regions. The admiral said: 'I do not want to scare anybody but the bitter reality is that in the event of a new war, the United States will be attacked by aircraft flying in from over one or both poles.'
“On the subject of the recently terminated expedition, Byrd said that 'the most important of the observations and discoveries made was the of the present potential situation as it relates to the security of the United States ... I can do no more than warn my countrymen very forcibly that the time has passed when we could take refuge in complete isolation and rest in confidence in the guarantee of security which distance, the oceans and the poles provide.'
“The admiral warned of the necessity to 'remain in a state of alert and watchfulness.' He said that he 'realized perhaps better than any other person the significance of the scientific discoveries made in these explorations because I can make comparisons' (i.e. between now and when he was in Antarctica pre-war). We are abandoning the region after making important geographical discoveries.'”
