Arctic Experience Told
Rotary By Navy Lieut.
There is no contest between ,
the Airforce and the Navy re
garding the scientific work1
now being done on ice islands i
near the north pole, Lt. Frank I
Brink told the Rotary Club'
Tuesday.
Lt. Brink, 17th Naval Dis
trict Public Information Of
ficer, recently returned from
the ice island with a tape re
cording of the Navy’s ex
periences there and com
ments from members of the
Airforce party.
The recording was broad
cast over JNisu recently and is
believed to be the first record-1
ing made at the “top of the
world.” Fletcher’s Island or
T-3 is aDproximately 70 miles
from the north pole.
The Navy P2V Neptune in
which Brink was riding lost
an engine following takeoff
from T-3 and was forced to
return to the island where
they stayed for 32 hours be
fore a C-47 came in and flew
them out.
Lt. Brink said the press
representatives at Point Bar
row, navy base for the polar
flights, have given the public
the opinion there is great
rivalry between the Navy and
Airforce regarding the polar
expeditions. -- -
“Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The men of
both services are only con
cerned with the success of
the scientific mission, ” Brink
declared.
He told of the low tempera
tures and high winds the men
experience on the island and
of the difficulties of operating
equipment in the sub zero
weather.
Weather observations ob
tained by the men on the is
land may revolutionize the
forecasting of weather, Brink
said.
The ice island where the ex
periments are being conducted
is approximately eight miles
long and five miles widp. It
is believed to be a “chunk’’
of a glacier which has drifte d
in the arctic ice pack.
Navigators usp new grid
charts and an astro-compass
for navigating in the polar
regions as the regular charts
are useless.
