Three nations- Britain, Chile and Argentina-have es tablished claims and taken up squatters rights on this bar ren, volcanic island 500 miles south of Cape Horn which was discovered by a 17-year- old American sea captain 140 i years ago. Deception lies at 62.5B south latitude, 60.34 west InnfriliiHp nn thp nutnr fringes of Palmer Peninsula, named I whalers and sealers who died aboard ship or while working at the station.

Has Little Ice Despite its proximity to the Antarctic continent, Deception has proportionately little ice and snow, or, for that matter, anything else. Not one blade of grass grows on its volcanic slopes, and nowhere on the 9-mile-wide crater is there a semblance of vegetation. The name was given by Palmer, who first believed the island to be an extinct volcanic cone rising from the sea. He found it contained an excellent deep water bay formed where the volcano blew out its side, allowing the sea to convert the crater into a completely 'protected horseshoe harbor. Sealers and whalers used the port for more than 100 years, and a whaling station was built close to' the harbor mouth in 1006. German raid ers also were reported to have used it as a refueling base and hideout in World War I. Today the whaling station is a mass of ruins, rotting timbers and rusting machin ery. Scattered about in the black, volcanic sand are whale bones, splintered boats and debris.

Orrgon AltjrncB lor Administrate; tion in the early '30's, nnd the British today use the old dor mitory as their base of oper ations. Records kept by the Hektor Co. show that a termendous earthquake occurred in Jan uary, 1930, in which the har bor bottom dropped 15 feet, huge clouds of steam arose from the water and the hulls of anchored ships were' blis tered by the subterranean heat. Today sulphurous hot springs bubble up along the .. j - and everywhere there is evidence of recent volcanic ac- lion. The Chilean staliun is manned by Air Force person nel whose base is across the harbor from the British. The Argentina Navy mans its base. Civilians hired by the Falk land Islands Dependencies Survey operate the five-man British base. Tried One Case The British commander, 23-year-old Ian Jackson, also is the island's magistrate, harbor muster, meteorologist and postmaster. In his two years as magistrate, Jackson has had but one case to try, that of a Norwegian seaman accused of killing a penguin. The case, conducted mostly by corres- pondence through the ship's captain, ended with Jackson fining the seaman 2 pounds sterling (S5.G0). Each man signs up for a two-year contract, and all are housed in the big wooden frame dormitory which con tains workshops, generating plant, weather bureau, bunk rooms, k iichen, storehouse, and recreation facilities. Temperature Varies Jackson said the tempera lure varies between the high 60's in tfie summer and 20 be low zero in the winter. De ception is the main base for other British stations farther south along the Palmer Penin sula, and a light plane and air field are now operational. Despite their political dif ferences over ownership of the islands, the three groups co-operale and fraternize, es pecially during the holidays. "It's a pretty good life down here," explained geologist Mike Tween. "So good, in fact, that most of us sign over for another two years." Fire Safely Topic Of Talk Set Here John S.
