Navy Photography in the Antarctic
The primary purpose of Operation “Highjump,” 1946–1947, was to train personnel, test equipment, and improve operational techniques in subzero temperatures. Every phase of the operation and the performance of equipment undergoing tests were photographed in color motion pictures with a view toward producing technical and training films for educational purposes. — The many difficulties inherent in photographic operations in subzero temperatures and polar regions require special techniques. These and the malfunctions of cameras, and causes and suggestions for improvements are treated. The Navy is developing cameras more suitable for use in frigid areas.
