About this listen

This episode we dive deep into one of the most mysterious military operations in history — Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd, this massive U.S. Navy expedition to Antarctica involved thousands of men, warships, and aircraft — but why?

In this episode, we explore the official story versus the classified rumors: Was Operation Highjump a mission of scientific exploration, a covert military test against Soviet forces, or something far more extraordinary? From Nazi bases beneath the ice to UFO sightings and lost polar civilizations, we separate fact from fiction and uncover what might really have happened at the edge of the world.
