I thought this was totally cool to see.

I thought this was totally cool to see. You should remember hearing about Admiral Byrd in the Antarctic as a kid in school if your around my age. (a hem, not tellin how old that is.) 
Many thanks to our own John W Poynton for showing this.

Admiral Richard Byrd’s “Little America III” station, built in Antarctic in 1940, was spotted by a Navy icebreaker sticking out of the side of this floating iceberg in the Antarctic’s Ross Sea, on March 13, 1963. The old outpost was buried beneath 25 feet of snow, 300 miles away from its original location. A helicopter pilot flew in close and reported cans and supplies still stacked neatly on shelves.
