Deception Island-IIIPD-Aere
for acre Deception Island is
the most internationally cov
eted piece of useless real es
tate in the world.
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

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.
Seamen Buried
A bit up the hill Is the old
cemetery where some 500 men'
lie buried, most of them Scan
dinavians. All but one were

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."
