I received a letter from a friend today. Just for her, this is Lake Jabs in the Antarctic.

"A lake just east of Club Lake in the Vestfold Hills. The region was photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), ANARE (1954, 1957, 1958) and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956)."
And I see it's a trifle chilly today down there: http://www.yr.no/place/Antarctica/Other/Jabs,_Lake/
The only thing left to ask of your friend is if the lake contains fish? I found researching this reference through the week to be a very interesting exercise. Thank you.

More on "Operation Highjump" which I forgot to include above:
http://www.examiner.com/article/did-us-navy-battle-ufos-protecting-nazi-antarctic-sanctuary-1947
- see what I mean about 'interesting'?
kvd
Good heavens, kvd. The things you find!
Thank you Jim - and I believe I deserve extra special kudos for introducing Hitler within two comments on a blog post; Godwin's Law and all that :)
kvd
ps find out about the fish, please.
I will find out for you, kvd. And you do deserve great praise for managing to bring Hitler in; I had to look up Godwin's law! On that version of Operation Highjump, Good Lord. Actually, there is a popular pulp novel that appears to be based roughly upon that version.
