The above photo by Cliff Dickey is the frontispiece of the South Pole Yearbook 1957, a unique document subtitled
"The First Book Written and 'Published' at the South Geographic Pole, Antarctica." The book is dedicated to the
memory of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and is © 1958 by Paul A. Siple "on behalf of the First Wintering Personnel
of the U. S. South Pole Station" (dedication page annotated by Siple)
A reproduction copy of the book was donated to the Pole library by w/o Cliff Dickey on April 29, 2002 (annotated
front cover). A copy of this document may be available upon request (email me). The photo above is also in the
USAP Photo Library (link to original).
