The International Geophysical Year 1957–58 IGY, as it was known, was a collaboration effort between forty nations to carry out earth science studies from the North Pole to the South Pole and at points in between. The United States, along with Great Britain, France, Japan, Norway, Chile, Argentina, and the U.S.S.R. agreed to go to the South Pole—the least explored area on Earth. Their goal is was to advance world knowledge of Antarctic hydrography and weather systems, glacial movements, and marine life. The U.S. Navy was charged with supporting the U.S. scientists for their portion of the IGY studies. 

The exploration known as Deep Freeze, or by its code name OpDFrz or ODF began with first Deep Freeze I, continued on with successive operations, and at present is under the USAF command.

 FROM THE JACKET:  In this lavishly illustrated book you can embark on a journey through Great Britain in past times.

Superb photographs from The Francis Frith Collection, rich in period detail and arranged region by region, will bring you a fascinating portrait of Britain as it was in years gone by. They are accompanied by quotations from writers, poets and travellers down the ages. Photographs and text combine to capture the rich diversity of Britain's unique history and heritage.

See the countryside of Great Britain in all its remarkable variety - the Norfolk Broads, the Derbyshire Dales, the north Devon coast, the Yorkshire Dales, the Cotswolds, and the Wye valley at Tintern. Visit them as they were before the motor car arrived and mass tourism altered them forever.

Tour the ancient and mysterious sites of Britain, including Stonehenge and Tintagel; visit the places in Britain that have helped shape its long and enthralling history - Hastings, where the Normans conquered Harold's army, Portsmouth, with its proud naval heritage, and the ancient castles of Pembroke, Stirling and Caernarfon; see magnificent cathedrals and abbeys, and visit great houses and estates, including Windsor Castle and Balmoral.

Tour some of Britain's most celebrated cities - London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast; walk the medieval streets of Chester, Shrewsbury and York; and enjoy vistas of graceful Georgian squares and promenades at Cheltenham and Harrogate.

Glimpse the delights of the traditional British seaside holiday, with scenes of fun on the sands at Brighton, Blackpool, Southwold, and Rothesay.

Revisit, too, Britain's industrial heartland as it was in Victorian times. See the bustling industrial cities of Liverpool and Manchester; marvel at feats of engineering that have marked British industrial genius at home and overseas, including the Forth and Menai bridges. This colourful book, full of atmospheric illustrations, is a refreshing celebration of Britain, and will bring you insights into its people, places, and history. 

Will be a delightful addition to your library or to use as a gift.

 Top French photographer Claude Poulet roamed the length and breadth of Britain for an entire year to capture the unique character of the British at work, rest and play. The beautiful photographs that resulted from his travels now illustrate Britain and Her People, a highly individual view of a year in the life of England, Scotland and Wales. Claude has covered many aspects of our national life, with an eye for the details that would almost certainly have escaped a native of these shores. He has also captured that special something, sometimes called eccentricity, which characterises the diverse behaviour of the people of ‘this sceptred isle’. The pictures have been grouped into a series of photographic essays in roughly chronological order, each complemented by a highly entertaining text and captions by Anthony Kamm." 

Will be a great addition to your library or to give as a gift.
