He recalled the ships' getting beset in thick ice, having to choose an alternate station site, and the rush to get everything under cover before winter. He assessed the ongoing tensions that developed with Finn Ronne, who was both the military and scientific leader of the station-his censoring of outgoing messages, thwarting the IGY science program, petty actions that united the base against him.
