South Pole Station,
Antarctica. Time capsule located in a plywood
shack at the South Pole. The
capsule is to be opened
in the year 2000--if
they can find it. Caption
by Bill Nichols. (Circa 1959) Editor’s Note: This was taken from the Internet in 2008. 1956-57. “Time capsule marked "to be opened in the year 2000" deposited in the astronomical hut at the real Pole. The capsule came from Peoria and was a D8 cylinder, to be unearthed in 2000.” That didn't happen; NSF has plans to find it someday. - www.southpolestation.com/trivia/igy1/igy1.html
