ANTARTICA - Operation Highjump

Has anyone heard of operation Highjump in 1947, where a US military expeditionary force was to " survey " Antartica.
Anyway supposedly there was(or still is) a Nazi base developed during WW2, which was protected by advanced technology.
Anyway does anyone know anything else about this. Here are a few links :

nazi base protected by advanced technology? i dont think so. maybe if einstien was working for the nazis. probally some old forgotten out post.

This invasion of the continent of Antarctica was named ‘Operation High Jump’ and comprised of some 4700 military personnel, six helicopters, six Martin PBM flying boats, two seaplane tenders, fifteen other aircraft, thirteen US Navy support ships and one aircraft carrier; the USS Philippine Sea (left).

It seems incredible that so shortly after a war that had decimated most of Europe and crippled global economies, an expedition to Antarctica was undertaken with so much haste (it took advantage of the first available Antarctic summer after the war), at such cost, and with so much military hardware - unless the operation was absolutely essential to the security of the United States.

At the time of the operation, the US Navy itself was being taken apart piece by piece as the battle-tested fleet was decommissioned with its mostly civilian crew bidding farewell to the seas forever. The Navy was even reduced to further recruitment to man the few remaining ships in service (1).

Tensions across the globe were also mounting as Russia and America edged into a Cold War, possibly a Third World War that the US would have to fight with "tragically few ships and tragically half trained men (2)." This made the sending of nearly 5,000 residual Navy personnel to a remote part of the planet where so much danger lurked in the form of icebergs, blizzards and sub-zero temperatures even more of a puzzle. The operation was also launched with incredible speed, "a matter of weeks (3)." Perhaps it would not be uncharitable to conclude that the Americans had some unfinished business connected with the war in the polar region. Indeed this was later confirmed by other events and the operation’s leader, Admiral Richard Byrd, himself.

I've even read some Soviet soldiers were part of the expedition.

Hey, great. I can use your thread to speak about one of my thread. Link

ACtually my Granddads dad was in WW2 and told my grandad that yeah the Nazi's went to Antarctica, set up a base, and have great advanced technology there, including UFO's.

Now if someone told me tat the nazi's went to antarctica, set up a base and was the source of the UFO's i would have said rubbish back to them. But since it's my great grand dad said it, and my grandfather told me...Well i kind of accepted it as fact.

Mad Scientist, I really have no clue what was going on but...... I did find that there is currently "something" going on at Antarctica as we speak.

I found this at The Black Vault, in their forums, entitled: "What going on in Antarctica?" It must have some merit for its 3 pages long.....

Interesting to say the least....reminds me of "The Thing"

I started a thread a while ago about heavy water, it was something about heavy water being discovered in antartica, maybe this is what they are searching for up their

Something I came across while doing the Seismic thread last week... The USGS seismograph site had a really wierd looking seismic image for Amundsen Base Antarctica... It was a series of very uniform slight tremors that went on continuously, without a change in intensity or frequency for 14 hours straight... It looked to me like a drilling project or something, although for it to show up on a seismograph... it would be akin to drilling the English Channel Tunnel (Chunnel).

I read somewhere about them finding a skyscraper under the ice in Antarctica and they were excavating it. All top secret hush hush stuff.

Ummm.

Also back in like the 1940's i think it was, they did find in antarctica areas where there was no snow, an un-frozen lake and green vegetation.

Hmmmm, sounds familiar. Take a look at this site
