	Weather Doctor's Weather History
		Siple's original report was submitted in 1940, but not published in the open literature (in the Journal of the American Philosophical Society) until 1945 because of its potential military applications.
		Siple was met immediately by a representative of the United States Quartermaster Corps who explained to him that the government required his expertise on cold weather impacts on humans.
		Siple immediately went to work with the US government as a civilian scientist, but with the entry of America into the war in December 1941, he joined the armed forces, commissioned as an army Captain.

	Eagle Scout Siple with Admiral Byrd in the Antarctic
		Siple, with many of the expedition members, crowded round the radio and were excited by the descriptions by radio operator, Harold June, of the landscape, but were then greatly depressed when communication was lost.
		SIPLE was employed through the worst part of the winter in building tunnels for the dog teams and a 'dissection house' where he dissected and stuffed penguins which were required to be sent back home for further research.
		Siple is credited with discovering the concept of the 'wind-chill factor' and its associated formulæ, which he documented in his 1940 doctoral thesis.

	Antarctic Explorers: Paul A. Siple
		Siple, always willing to tackle another geographic phenomenon, sought to establish the rate of movement of the north magnetic pole and what would be the result should this pole and the geographic pole converge.
		Siple was excused from his duties with the Army by the Department of Defense and ordered to take over the scientific projects for Task Force 43.
		It is safe to say that Siple maintained the admirable qualities mentioned by Owen for the rest of his life judging by the four books he has authored, the comments of other writers who came to know him and the average person meeting him in more relaxed moments.

		4) returned to Siple Dome to re-survey poles placed in the ice in 1994 and to extend our survey and RES measurements along the southern flank of Siple Dome toward Ice Stream C. Figure 5 shows the main lines along which GPS survey and radar measurements were made.
		It is probably the relict margin of a former ice stream that flowed as recently as 1300 years ago from the present position of Ice Stream C toward Ice Stream D. Evidently the configuration of ice streams can change with time, which poses new challenges to understand their contribution to ice discharge to the ocean.
		By analyzing the shapes of the layers, we have concluded that the crest of Siple Dome has been migrating northward toward Ice Stream D for at 10-40 centimeters per year for at least the last several thousand years (Fig.

		The island was named "Isla Aldea" by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition, 1947, probably after Sargento Juan de Dios Aldea, of the Chilean Navy, one of the heroes of the naval battle of Iquique, May 21, 1879.
		The islands were mapped in detail by the FIDS from photos taken from the helicopter of HMS Protector and from information obtained by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit in 1958 and the three names positioned as originally given by the Belgian and French expeditions.

	Skiing the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond: Mount Siple
		Mount Siple is an enormous shield volcano which forms the bulk of Siple Island on the coast of Antarctica, rising directly from the water's edge to a height of over 10000 ft (3000 m) and comparable in volume to Mount Erebus at roughly 450 cubic miles (1800 cu km).
		Unlike the other inland volcanoes of Marie Byrd Land, Mount Siple's bulk is not concealed by the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which only has a thickness of about 600 feet (200 m) at its terminus here along the coast.
		Surprisingly, Siple has received even less visits and less study than the other remote volcanoes of this region (none of which have been visited much).
