A PASSAGE THROUGH ICE.—The United States naval icebreaker Edisto makes a passage through the Antarctic ce for the Coast Guard icebreaker Northwind and the British scientific research ship John Biscoe (rear). Six United Kingdom scientific research bases in the Antarctic received supplies and men for the Antarctic winter through the co-operative efforts of the United States Navy and Coast Guard. When the John Biscoe became trapped in heavy pack ice, the United States ships were dispatched to force a passage to the scientific bases, using helicopter assistance to find a path through the ice.
