About this listen
In 1946, the United States launched one of the largest military expeditions in history—not during a war, but immediately after one had ended.
Officially, Operation Highjump was a training exercise in Antarctica.
Unofficially, its true purpose remains buried beneath layers of classification, conflicting reports, and carefully worded statements.
In the opening episode of Season 2, we examine what Highjump actually was, why it ended earlier than expected, and how Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s later warnings hinted at something he was never allowed to say outright.
This episode isn’t about myths or spectacle.
It’s about patterns, silence, and what happens when powerful institutions encounter environments they don’t fully understand.
Because some operations don’t end—
they just stop being discussed.
Voices in the Static returns.
