...California's Carquinez Strait, 30 miles up San Pablo Bay from San Francisco and the Golden Gate. At the sandy tip of a new superhighway pushing across the hills from Richmond to the industrial town of Crockett, an army of mammoth machines comes noisily to life; their motors growl and their exhausts spout blue fumes into the mountain air. Tough, broadnosed bulldozers hungrily tear up the soil; potbellied scrapers scoop and level it; lumbering compact-ers press it down with their massive weight.

Last week the clatter of hammers, the whine of saws, the growl of a tractor shattered the Pole's chill silence. Under the skilled hands of 24 U.S. Navy Seabees, a tiny community of six multihued polar huts was rising from the snow-the home, for many months to come, of 18 American scientists and Navymen...
