On IGY Expedition
Aggie Prof Sees Arctic Sights
A volcano spewing steam amid
a background of floating icebergs
and swimming penguins vividly
stands out as one of the highlights
of a trip to the bottom of the
world by a young Texas meteor
ologist.
“Trees sure look good after see
ing little but icy wastelands, pen
guins and seals for weeks”, Guy A.
Franceschini, associate professor
of the Oceanography and Meteor
ology Department, said on his re
turn from a two-month excursion
that took him to the Antarctic con
tinent.
He went along as an observer
for the U.S. Navy aboard an Ar
gentine icebreaker on an Interna
tional Geophysical Year expedition.
He was one of two American me
teorologists on the voyage aboard
the “General San Martin”, com
manded by Capt. Louis Capurro.
Base of operations for the expedi
tion was Ushuaiar, Arginetina, the
southern-rpost city in the world.
In addition to completing a ra
dio-telephone call to his wife in
Bryan on her birthday, other high
lights of the trip included a re
union with an Aggie on Antarc
tica, and eating bacon and penguin
eggs for breakfast and seal steak
for dinner.
The group left Ushuaia on about
Jan. 1, went through the South
Shetland, South Orkney, and South
Sandwich, Islands, and on to an
Argentine base on the Antarctic
continent. It was on the northern-

most island of the South Sandwich
that they saw the steaming volcano,
which was such a contrast to its
surroundings.
From the Argentine base, Fran
ceschini went 150 miles by air to
the American base of Ellsworth,
where he met one of his former
meteorology students, Doyle Ur
ban, a 1957 A&M graduate from
Rockdale. Urban will be there with
a group of scientists until about
this time next year.
While at the American base,
Franceschini got to talk to his wife
in Bryan, thanks to a radio opera
tor at the base and an amateur
radio operator in Houston. The
“ham” operator made a long dist
ance telephone call to Mrs. Fran
ceschini in Bryaii and then placed
the phone and the radio side by
side. Franceschini said the con
nection was perfect.
He said penguin eggs go very
well with bacon and taste about
like the eggs here. He described
seal steaks as dark but rich and
good.
In addition to the scientific pur
poses of the expedition, new per
sonnel and supplies were taken to
the icy continent and last year’s'
crew was returned.
Although principally an observ
er, Franceschini took water tem
perature measurements through
the Drake Passage to determine
limits of the Antarctic converg
ence zone, and took temperature
measurements at various depths in
the snow on the continent in the
interest of micrometeorology.
The meteorologist said, “it was
a wonderful experience but I’m
glad to be home”.
