  Albert P. Crary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Paddock Crary (1911 - 1987), was a pioneer polar geophysicist and glaciologist and the first person to set foot on both the North (on May 3, 1952, together with Joseph O. Fletcher and William P. Benedict) and South Poles.
Crary was the seventh expedition leader to arrive at the South Pole by surface transportation (the six others before him were—in sequence— Amundsen, Scott, Hillary, Fuchs, a Russian expedition in 1959/60 from Vostok base, and Havola).
He was also honored to have the Crary Mountains (76 degrees 48' S, 117 degrees 40' W) and the Crary Ice Rise in the Antarctic named for him as well.

 Crary Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crary Mountains (76°48′ S 117°40′ W) is a group of ice-covered Antarctic mountains, 56 km (35 mi) long, rising to 3,655 m at Mount Frakes and including Mount Rees, Mount Steere and Boyd Ridge.
The mountains were probably among those viewed by Admiral Byrd and other members of the USAS in plane flights from the ship Bear on Feb. 24 and 25, 1940.
They were mapped in the course of the 1957-58 oversnow traverse from Byrd Station to the Sentinel Range led by C.R. Bentley, and named after Albert P. Crary, who was then Deputy Chief Scientist for the US-IGY Antarctic Program.

A.P. Crary, along with other personnel from Watson Laboratory, were already present in Alamogordo, but they did not conduct any balloon operations.
Crary's diary indicated that flight no. 4 consisted of a "cluster of (meteorological) balloons" and a "regular sonobuoy." (23) Presumably, flight no. 3 was configured the same.
It was apparent from Crary's diary that he had worked very closely with Major Pritchard and reported to him on occasion (twelve documented meetings from December 1946-April 1947).

The name of the street in front of Crary Lab is "Beeker Street." Scientists are referred to as "beakers" but the spelling comes from a clever pun of a street name in New York City.

The Albert P. Crary Science and Engineering Center has replaced McMurdo Station's outdated laboratories, Eklund Biological Center (EBC) and Thiel Earth Science Laboratory (TESL).
PACDIV selected the CJS Group Architects Ltd., to survey the existing science facilities at McMurdo Station, develop design criteria with NSF managers, work with the polar science community to ensure that major science requirements were met, and design the structure.
The Crary center primarily supports NSF-funded researchers, four research centers/labs (two Environ- mental Monitoring Laboratories, a Snow and Ice Mechanics Laboratory, an Antarctic Meteorological Research Center, and the Mt. Erebus Volcano Observatory), the GIS system, and a local area network (LAN).

Newly hired employees were not made aware that there was anything special or classified about their work; they were told only that their work dealt with meteorological equipment.
Additionally, a copy of a professional journal maintained at the time by A.P. Crary, provided to the Air Force by his widow, showed that Flight 4 was launched on June 4, 1947, but was not recovered by the NYU group.
Likewise, it was learned that A.P. Crary was also deceased; however his surviving spouse had a number of his papers from his balloon testing days, including his professional journal from the period in question.

The team was careful to take samples at the edge of the clean-air sector at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station to prevent contamination of the samples by bacteria from human habitation.
The containers of bacteria were flown, still frozen, within 24 hours to the Albert P. Crary Science and Engineering Center at NSF's McMurdo Station for analysis.
In examining the snowmelt, the researchers found coccoid and rod-shaped bacteria, some of which appeared to be dividing.

This year, 24 students -- the majority from the United States but also others from the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands -- traveled to Antarctica to study creatures unique to the Southern Ocean and their strategies for surviving at the extreme limits of life on earth.
Lectures on subjects ranging from the geography of Antarctica to the safe handling of low-level radioactive materials are held in the Crary lab.

Based on their previous experience with the Albert P. Crary Lab at McMurdo Station, Ferraro Choi designed an elevated structure, capable of jacking, that could delay the long-term effects of snow drifting.
Though the earliest designs included the old silver dome, it was soon dropped from the plans.
