This article presents the author's views on U.S. policy in the Antarctic. American diplomacy championed an "open door" policy in the region. This means that the U.S. although it had contributed more than any other nation to Antarctic exploration, made no territorial claim of its own, but at the same time refused to recognize the claims of other nations. Several times, in the, this country attempted to internationalize the area either by setting up an international commission or by establishing United Nations supervision. Rear Admiral Richard K. Byrd, commander of Operation Deep Freeze, is busy establishing a permanent U.S. base on the Antarctic mainland.
