Admiral Dufek was in charge of the United States military mission, through the United States Navy, to support research in Antarctica named Operation Deep Freeze, and the first man to land at the South Pole by airplane. Originally, Little Rockford was established near the western edge of the Ross Ice Shelf close to the King Edward VII Peninsula in December 1958.
