	Operation Highjump Information
		Operation Highjump (OpHjp), officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-47, was a United States Navy operation in Antarctica under the command of Richard Cruzen, which was launched on 26 August 1946 and lasted until 1947.
		After the operation ended, a follow-up Operation Windmill returned to the area, citing that a large percentage of the aerial photographs from the earlier mission had been poorly exposed, and needed to be re-shot.
		Operation Highjump has become a topic among UFO conspiracy theorists, who claim it was a covert US military operation to conquer alleged secret underground Nazi facilities in the Antarctica and capture the German Vril flying discs, or Thule mercury-powered spaceship prototypes.

	Operation ”Highjump” & The UFO Connection
		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 operation was also launched with incredible speed, “a matter of weeks.” Perhaps it would not be uncharitable to conclude that the Americans had some unfinished business connected with the war in the polar region.
		Firstly, Operation Highjump would have to provide evidence that the mission included a reconnaissance of Neu-Swabenland and secondly, there would have to be an area of the frozen continent that could allow such a base to exist throughout the year.

	Operation Tabarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During World War II, Operation Tabarin was a small British expedition launched from the UK in 1943 to the Antarctic to establish permanently-occupied bases.
		A reply from the Foreign Office indicated that the operation was launched not because the USA had failed to recognise British claims to the territory, but to reassert British territorial claims against Argentine and Chilean incursion.
		Following the end of the War, in 1945 Operation Tabarin was handed over to the civilians of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), subsequently renamed the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).

		By 1909 seven companies operated on the island, the industry expanded rapidly, and with it the population which was largely seasonal and Scandinavian.
		The expedition, code named "Operation Tabarin", arrived in the Antarctic in February 1944 and opened a base on Deception Island in the South Shetlands and another on the Graham Land coast at Port Lockroy.
		Code-named Operation Tabarin, this expedition built bases in the South Shetlands and at Port Lockroy on the Graham Land coast.

	Story of Secret U.S. Post Office at Oleana Base, Antarctica
		Operation Highjump was at least as important in many respects, it would appear, as his previous expeditions...
		Operation Tabarin was the beginning of Britain's permanent presence on the Antarctic continent, and was built to serve as a southern outpost and to keep an eye on suspected Nazi presence on the ice.
		In a 2001 BBC interview, one of the last remaining survivors of that secret expedition, Gwion Davies, noted that the posting of mail from their secret base was a way of their laying claim to, or establishing that section of Antarctica as British sovereign territory.

	A Secret History
		Operation Tabarin was a British operation in the wake of World War 2 to destroy the Neu Schwabenland Nazi survival base on antarctica.
		I first heard of this operation of a BBC Radio 4 programme of the same name, "Operation Tabarin", where few details were given and the nazis, obviously, weren't mentioned.
		Operation Tabarin was supposedly to stop Nazis commandeering polar whaling stations, one of those which was permanently occupied by ritain being the aptly named Deception Island.

		Meanwhile, as sadness permeated the American naval bases, Admiral D. Ramsey, chief of naval operations, was in Washington signing his name to an astounding set of orders addressed to commanders in chief of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets.
		The official press release by Byrd seemed to confirm their anxiety as OPERATION HIGHJUMP was justified as an "extension" of the United States Navy's "policy of developing the ability of naval forces to operate under any and all climatic conditions".
		Initial approval of OPERATION HIGHJUMP was apparently reached at a meeting of the "Committee of Three" (Secretary of State, Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy) on August 7, 1946.

		During the second year of Operation Tabarin (1944-45) a wooden ship SS Eagle was chartered to help with the relief of the two established bases at Port Lockroy and Deception Island, and and to set up Base D at Hope Bay.
		The bases established during Operation Tabarin were finally relieved in early 1946 by HMS William Scoresby, SS Fitzroy and MV Trepassey (a wooden diesel ship chartered from the Newfoundland Government).
		As the size of the Survey's operation grew RRS John Biscoe became too small to carry all cargo and she was eventually sold to the New Zealand Government in 1956.

		The purpose of the operation was to provide weather data and information and enemy activity in the area.

		As a result of this and the belief that German vessels would seek to use resources available in the Antarctic to harass Allied shipping, the UK dispatched a naval expedition known as Operation Tabarin in 1944 which wintered over at two stations in the Antarctic (Port Lockroy and Deception Island).
		Operation Tabarin was expanded and renamed following the close of World War II and eventually developed into the British Antarctic Survey of today.

		The British Antarctic Survey itself started as Operation Tabarin, an armed forces expedition organised during the Second World War.
		With the end of the war in 1945, the bases and their scientific work were transferred to a new civilian organisation, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS).
		This operated under the auspices of the Colonial Office (which became part of the Commonwealth Office, itself later absorbed into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in the 1960's).

		Dönitz's 1945 claim was nothing new: back in 1943, he had already claimed that the new U-boats would create "entirely new possibilities"23 and his boasts meant that Hitler ordered the construction of Dönitz's U-boats as a top priority.
		But, whilst the importance of Norway to Dönitz, Hitler and the Kriegsmarine was well known, some of the real reasons for the initial invasion of Norway are less so and add even more of a mystery to the history of World War II and the Antarctic front.

		These bases were intended to keep an eye on shipping movements in the area of the Drake Passage and to produce meteorological information.

		Gwion Davies, who has died aged 87, regarded himself as the handyman of Operation Tabarin, the expedition launched in 1943 to safeguard British sovereignty in the Antarctic, south of the Falkland Islands.
		A quietly spoken, obliging Welshman, known as "Taff" in Antarctica, he was ever ready both to help with the scientific work and routine domestic chores, such as hut building, cooking and cleaning.
		When Tabarin ended in March 1946 and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (later the British Antarctic Survey) took over, Davies returned home, making most of the journey on the cruiser Ajax, which had been involved in the Battle of the River Plate.
