Exploration of Antarctica:

1946–2006 Record of Personnel in Antarctica and their Postal 

Cachets; U.S. Navy (1946–48, 1954–60), International Geophysical 

Year (IGY) (1957–58), and USGS (1960–2006)

Introduction , 

Antarctica, a vast region encompassing13.2 million km2 (5.1 million mi2), is considered to be one of the most

important scientific laboratories on Earth. During the past 60 years, the USGS, in collaboration and with logistical

support from the National Science Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs, has sent 325 USGS scientists to Antarctica

to work on a wide range of projects: 169 personnel from the NMD2 (mostly aerial photography, surveying, and geodesy,

primarily used for the modern mapping of Antarctica), 138 personnel from the GD (mostly geophysical and geological

studies onshore and offshore), 15 personnel from the WRD (mostly hydrological/glaciological studies in the McMurdo

Dry Valleys), 2 personnel from the BRD (microbiological studies in the McMurdo Dry Valleys), and 1 person from the

Director’s Office (P. Patrick Leahy, Acting Director, 2005–06 austral summer field season). Three GD scientists and three

NMD scientists have carried out field work in Antarctica 9 or more times: John C. Behrendt (15), who started in 1956–57

and published two memoirs (Behrendt, 1998, 2005); Arthur B. Ford (10), who started in 1960–61, and Gary D. Clow (9),

who started in 1985–86; Larry D. Hothem (12), who began as a winter-over geodesist at Mawson Station in 1968–69; and

Jerry L. Mullins (12), who started in 1982–83 and followed in the legendary footsteps of his NMD predecessor, William

R. MacDonald (9), who started in 1960–61 and supervised the acquisition of more than 1,000,000 square miles of aerial

photography of Antarctica. This report provides a record as complete as possible, of USGS and non-USGS collaborating

personnel in Antarctica from 1946–2006, the geographic locations of their work, and their scientific/engineering

disciplines represented. Postal cachets (84) for each year follow the table of personnel and scientific activities in the

exploration of Antarctica during those 60 years.

To commemorate special events and projects in Antarctica, it became an international practice to create postal

cachets. A cachet is defined as a seal, emblem, or commemorative design printed or stamped on an envelope to mark

a philatelic or special event. All stamp collectors are familiar with engraved cachets on envelopes of “First-Day-ofIssue” stamps. For Antarctica, a stamped (inked) impression informs the scientist, historian, stamp collector, and general

public about the multidisciplinary science projects staffed by USGS scientists and other specialists during a specific

austral field season. Because philatelic cachets were created by team members for each USGS field season, in most

cases depicting the specific areas and scientific objectives, the cachets have become a convenient documentation of the

people, projects, and geographic places for that year. Because the cachets are representative of USGS activities, each

year’s cachet is included in that year’s Open-File Report (1960–61 to 2005–06).1 Starting with the 1983–84 season,

however, two USGS cachets were prepared for the next seven years, one for the winter team at Amundsen-Scott South

Pole Station, until 1992–93, and the other for all other field sites. Multiple cachets were created by USGS divisional

programs during the 1962–63, 1963–64, 1970–71, 1972–73, 1975–76, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1983–84, 1984–85, 1986–87,

1995–96, 2003–04, and the 2005–06 years.

This report includes facsimiles of each annual postal cachet (or postal cachets) designed by USGS graphic

specialists and provides a record of USGS personnel (and non-USGS collaborating scientists) and their science

division affiliation for each austral field season. In addition, cachets used by USGS personnel for U.S. Navy Operation

Highjump (1946–47), U.S. Navy Operation Windmill (1947–48), U.S. Navy U.S.S. Atka reconnaissance cruise (1954–

55), U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze (DF) (I, 1955–56; II, 1956–57; III, 1957–58; IV, 1958–59; and DF 60, 1959–60),

and the International Geophysical Year (1957–58) are included, because USGS scientists made use of these cachets

when involved in each of the field activities during these austral field seasons.
