Project Snowman was organized and carried out by the Atlantic Division, Air Transport Command during the summer of 1947 in order to investigate a portion of the Greenland Ice Cap with the objects of determining search and rescue procedurs and equipment appropriate for that area and of determining feasibility of using the Ice Cap surface for air operations. The report presents principally the observations and tests made by the Engineer Observers during Project Snowman. However, some data developed by other members of the Project are also included which are pertinent to the overall problem of construction and maintenance of airfields on the Ice Cap. (Author).
