During the course of the work at Station Alpha, a combined 
laboratory was occupied with the Micrometeorological Program of the 
University of Washingtone The laboratory was a double Jamesway but proved 
generally satisfactory. The building was moved once in May 1958 during a 
general camp move to an adjacent floe. The program at this station included 
seismic depth soundings on a daily or twice-daily basis, seismic studies of 
sea ice, recording of magnetic elements with an Askania variometer, daily 
gravity readings, daily current readings with a Gurley Current meter and 
some readings with drag meters and Roberts current meters. The program at 
Alpha also included seismic refraction work during 1958 and the operation 
of an All-Sky Camera and Durral Patrol Spectrograph during the winter 
darkness. Some investigations of ice strain and telluric currents were also 
done. Oceanography included bottom coring, dredging, bottom photography 
and two hydrographic stations. The navigation of the station was determined 
with daily celestial fires when cloud cover permitted. 
After the evacuation of station Alpha in November 1958, plans were 
begun for a new drifting station. This station, Charlie, was occupied in the 
spring of 1959. The Lamont programs of seismic soundings, bottom coring, 
dredging and bottom photoeraphy were all continued at this station. They
