Operation Highjump: The Great Antarctic Expedition:

Operation Highjump: USS Currituck: VH-4

...PBM pilot Lieutenant Commander David E. Bunger lifted from the bay and headed south for the continent some hundred miles distant. At this time the USS Currituck was off the Shackleton Ice Shelf on the Queen Mary Coast of Wilkes Land. Reaching the coastline, Bunger flew west with cameras humming. Suddenly the men in the cockpit saw a dark spot come up over the barren white horizon and as they drew closer, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Byrd later described it as a "land of blue and green lakes and brown hills in an otherwise limitless expanse of ice." 

Bunger and his men carefully inspected the region and then raced back to the ship to tell the others of their discovery. Several days later Bunger and his flight crew returned for another look, finding one of the lakes big enough to land on. Bunger carefully landed the "flying boat" and slowly came to a stop. The water was actually quite warm for Antarctica, about 30°, as the men dipped their hands in to the elbow. The lake was filled with red, blue, and green algae, which gave the lakes their distinctive color. The fly boys "seemed to have dropped out of the twentieth century into a landscape of thousands of years ago when land was just starting to emerge from one of the great ice ages," Byrd later wrote. Byrd called the discovery "by far the most important, so far as the public interest was concerned of the expedition." More

Byrd, secret mission Highjump

(Wiki) U.S. Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr. (Oct. 25, 1888–March 11, 1957) was an American naval officer [1], pioneering aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics.

Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the Antarctic Plateau. He is also known for discovering Mount Sidley, the largest dormant volcano in Antarctica.

Admiral Byrd claimed to be the first to reach both the North and South Poles by air....He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the U.S. Armed Forces' highest military decoration, and the Navy Cross, the second highest honor for valor given by the U.S. Navy. More
