MCMURDO SOUND, Antarctica (Jan. 2) -- During Operation Deep Freeze 2002, the 399-ft. Polar Star (WAGB-10) breaks an ice path for supply ships in McMurdo Sound. Supply ships must offload their cargo during the summer months of January and February to ensure that the extensive program of research activities can be conducted and that the facilities in the area remain operational year-round.
