Sep. 23rd, 2010 11:58 pmОфициальным ( и единственным ) капелланом экспедиции HighJump был Father William J. Menster (February 10, 1913 - April 14, 2007)
Он же стал первым католическим священником, ступившим на территорию Антарктиды.
Fr. Menster was then assigned to be the associate pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Waterloo, Iowa. During this time Menster joined the United States Naval Reserve, and by 1943 had reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Following the Second World War, in 1946 Menster was assigned to Operation Highjump - Admiral Richard Byrd's fourth expedition to Antarctica. He was assigned to the USS Mt. Olympus, and was the only chaplain in the five ship fleet. In 1947 he became the first Catholic priest ever to set foot on Antarctica, and led the first ever religious service on the continent. During a religious service held in a tent set up on land, he consecrated Antarctica. Ministering to 2,000 men of a variety of religious faiths gave him experience in leading ecumenical services (освятил Антарктиду во время религиозной церемонии под натянутым тентом и... служение для 2000 человек разных вероисповеданий дало ему опыт экуменических служб (?)),
