This book is the 1963 Edition of Britannica...Book of the Year....the Illustrated Factual Record of Great Events of an Important Year.... Published by Encyclopedia Brittannica.....also included two book length articles "The Craft of Intelligence"by Allen W. Dulles, former director of Central Intelligency Agency (his middle name was Welsh ....our family name - they sure get around) at least one of our family names, so John F. Kennedy was still alive when this book published. Now is early in am so forgive errors and I in part will get some of this off..... ANTARCTICA During 1962 two significant seps were taken by the US to provide more permanent facilities in Antarcica. On February 13, 1962 a new major scientif station replacing the old Byrd sation built in 1957 and later crushed beyond repair under many tons of drifted snow ws placed in commission and occupied by scientists and logistics support personnel.....new statioan consisted of 600 ft. steel arch tunnel with seven access tunnels so arranged that almost nothing proruded above the surface of the snow. On March 4, 1962 a 1500 kw nuclear power plant was activated at McMrdo sound. Plant was designed to generate electricty for entire station and provide steam to melt snow for water suply.....in compliance with the 12 nation Antarcic treaty with prohibits nuclear explosions in Anarctica and the disposal there of rdio active waste material, waste from nuclear power plant would be removed in approved containers to US for disposal." My words here: Now get this, remember when NASA said there was life on Mars and the press got hyper? It was a joke.... So I go on here: A meterote weighing 70 lbs was found by US ascientist working in the eastern Horlick mountains about 350 miles from south pole.....was especially interesting because it was of a relatively ucommon tpe, siderolite part iron and part stone, conaining large portions of both nickel iron and silicate..... Me again: A picture of a huge tunnel being cleared by snow plow: "City Under Snow: a 19 ton tractor cutting pataha between two tunnels 20 feet under snow at the new Byrd Station, Antarctica, commissioned in Februaray 1962.....U.S> navy Seaabees were beginning work on the foundation of a city under the snow where scientists would and could conduct their experiments....The old Byrd station was abandoned beuse of five years accumulation of snow. So, Ms. Nabisco........this must be your city of Antarctica.....strange I would have this out today and you made this request.....there is more but nothing in this part I can type on further.....if you want more data tomorrow will go in other parts of book because there is more there....one picture huge hole in clouds where the USAF made hole.....deep thick clouds......and talk of OZONE at North Pole, etc...... So.......nuclear plant by the way at both poles......for the Russians and into these two underground streams, where the seals and turtles and the seals travel like the jet streams.....Plato wrote of these two streams which they now talk about....the La Nica and El Nino.....this is how they melt portion of polar cap and why the dolphins and fish and I think this is where the lemmings disappar in a whirlpool into this secret passage to the poles....even the huge sea turtles die. Good night....too tired to write more...hope this helps you and sorry for delay. Colleen
