(Note: further below we have an update on the potential connection to Hyperborea)
In 1946, Admiral Byrd organized an expedition to Antarctica (his fourth journey there) to establish research base Little America IV in what is known as Operation High Jump. The main objectives of the expedition, according to the Navy report, were essentially to: train personnel and test equipment in frigid conditions, consolidate areas over the Antarctic, determine feasibility of developing, maintaining and using bases, and increasing knowledge of electromagnetic, geological, geographic, hydrographic and meteorological propagation conditions.
There have been theories and speculation poised around what occurred during this expedition, and what was found, ranging from UFO's, Nazi bases and an opening to Inner Earth (some have also confused this with one of his trips to the North Pole). There are no ultimate claims being made here. We now know that under ice lakes and rivers do exist there. Large cracks and openings have formed deep into the ice opening below, some of which are due to climatic changes and variations. We of course know that UAP's have been widely reported across continents. It seems entirely possible something could have been observed during this trip related to that phenomenon. Reported deaths during this trip included one accident and a plane crash that left 8 people stranded. A book called the Secret Diary of Admiral Byrd has been discredited by some as inconsistent and silly, but it has not been read by this author. You can however read some of the reviews here. An official diary exists within the collection of the Byrd archive and recounts his flight to the North Pole. Also, it would appear a statement made to the Chilean press directly after the expedition was slightly misinterpreted. According to Wikipedia, instead of referencing UFO's:
"Admiral Richard E. Byrd warned today that the United States should adopt measures of protection against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile planes coming from the polar regions. The admiral explained that he was not trying to scare anyone, but the cruel reality is that in case of a new war, the United States could be attacked by planes flying over one or both poles. This statement was made as part of a recapitulation of his own polar experience, in an exclusive interview with International News Service. Talking about the recently completed expedition, Byrd said that the most important result of his observations and discoveries is the potential effect that they have in relation to the security of the United States. The fantastic speed with which the world is shrinking – recalled the admiral – is one of the most important lessons learned during his recent Antarctic exploration. I have to warn my compatriots that the time has ended when we were able to take refuge in our isolation and rely on the certainty that the distances, the oceans, and the poles were a guarantee of safety."
Some claims also include that HAARP has been extended around the globe and into places like Antarctica. Dimi in her session referenced that in AOL (analytical overlay), which could have been her picking up on the popularly held notion. According to Robert McCoy, Director, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, "HAARP has previously been the subject of conspiracy theories, but claims in the (recent) Gaia article about HAARP’s ability to cause natural disasters or control human behaviors are false. HAARP is a high-frequency transmitter (basically a shortwave radio), he explained. It is used to conduct experiments on a 100 x 100 kilometer patch of the overhead ionosphere. Transmissions from HAARP only cause small effects in the ionosphere that last a few seconds. In addition, the facility is operated only a few hours each year. The amount of high-frequency energy coming from amateur radio operators around the world almost certainly exceeds transmissions from HAARP. HAARP cannot affect any of the natural phenomena mentioned in the article, such as earthquakes and snowstorms, and there is no way it can interact with humans or influence them".
Today tourism brings many travelers to the continent each year to freely roam to the extent harsh nature allows, with the exception of some protected natural areas that require approval under international treaty. While tourism, scientific research, photography and satellite imagery of the continent all cast doubt regarding any large secret entrances to Inner Earth today, we certainly do not understand all of that which exists beneath the deep ice. Just like with other underground and underwater locations around the world associated with the UAP phenomenon, similar activity could have been going on in 1946/1947 and/or continues today.
Having said this, these sessions do appear to pick up on some aspects of the journey of Admiral Byrd and his fleet, including weather, journey, ships and subjects. Below in the ERV session there are essences of a cavernous area underground I described. Dimi also picked up on this in her session, as did Charlie. Dimi and I both perceived something to do with balls of energy "thrown" in some fashion. I perceived these moving inside the clouds.
Here is what Dimi sketched:
Notes from my ERV Session (John and Thion):
First impressions: White? Structure, like a building; could have been stone but more modern, potentially large, maybe in a city, almost like a capitol bldg. or large venue, large white bldg., city, daytime. The feeling of there are steps; there is the color white, maybe a white stone; i smell water, something damp, earthy, sand possibly.
Cool, shaded, shadows, smooth, goes across, maybe a wider opening further away, a wide area to walk I guess. AOL a coliseum.
I feel like I am at cloud level, soft white clouds, blue sky. I detect the slight smell of rain or after rain. I saw an angel and someone playing an instrument (may be imagination)
I want to say I'm quite high up looking down.
I saw green trees at first and then just brown earth. I see lots of treetops, nature, trees, structures, something maybe domed, daytime, sunny, partly cloudy.
It feels roman....maybe its symbolic...a man in a white robe with a beard, with the word "Hersod" (or something similar). I say 'where am I?' and I got the word roman.
[what is his place or what does the man do here?]
He was holding a book, like holding it in his palm; something to do with water, working with water, water sign, water in nature, water god (the feeling of Neptune or Poseidon), something like that.
Describe the man:
I would say stoic, peaceful, intellectual, dark, short hair, beard, and mustache. 40 something maybe. Just prominent angular features, prominent check bones, strong jaw but not overly.
[Any other people there?]
I see just different silhouettes of people in between hallways or pillars doing things.
its like a covered area with some kind of pillars, almost like in a city or courtyard, quasi street, or between buildings.
Figures in a distance like they are doing things. Due to the materials or the lighting there is more of a light beige or yellow quality there.
Hugging the material it feels rather rounded and large, smooth, possibly stone in material.
[Go to the starting point of the target and describe]:
A sense of a large structure that is very ornate but older looking, older style I should say,
kind of like a very large ship, with different ornate designs, like a Spanish galleon but 10 times more decorative.
Choppy water and maybe people falling into the water.
An AOL of Noah's Ark. Similar feel of a big ship and choppy waters. Something to do with water. Like a flood or strong water.
I feel its night time and there is some sort of repressing downward force, which I will explore...
A lot of water pouring past me, like a ship flooding, a big splash of water or sudden flood of water going past me.
It felt like it was taking me down; felt like I was underwater, things calmed down there, I was floating, blue water cartoon almost.
I felt peaceful and floating, free, expansive, floating up I felt like the night sky, a light source, partly cloudy.
(An) inner light with a nebula or cloudiness around it.
Anybody around there?
Night, rows of clouds, and feel like I am looking at the oceans, tall waves, lights in the distance, like a far away city. (I am) seeing and experiencing the ocean
[move closer to the light and describe]
It feels misty, foggy; before that I perceived water, maybe a storm passed through, water overtook, rain, many droplets of rain on a window, fallen trees (imagination?), then fogginess or mistiness.
[Is it daytime or night time?]:
To me it feels night time, maybe some city lights around on a street, no subjects around.
AOL some victims or weather or disaster, but also see someone or some people sleeping quietly in their bedroom (going to the nearest person in order to contact).
Not a lot there, but I get there is a journey, and the shape of a fish design, or a fish fin design that is blue and curvy.
Some sort of master design, very fine architectural or artistic lines that became more elaborate or embellished, then a sphere of lines like map coordinates or a grid, like older but newer.
[Is this related to the journey of that person or persons somehow?]:
I get the phrase "maps and signs", or "maps and legends".
Who is the journey related to?
Rather strange images of priests with tall heads (almost like giants), crowded together, faces as if in a wall, intricate, geometrical.
Non-physical, maybe they're souls, or related somehow;
maybe its symbolic, maybe outside of the 3D plane, or related to the subject.
Long steps - one step and then its long, one step and then its long, across.
This leads to an area in the distance that is dark and then has a glow, slightly blue, almost like a city or dome, something curved.
Domed because of halo of the light? city or structure in the distance.
Looking from the steps over a hill.
This is a broader journey, generally related to the planet. Once again water, washing over, on a very large scale.
Trying to go through the journey or sequence of events and see where that takes me. Trying to go along as on a guided tour...
I see some beauty starting to appear for whatever reason. it reminds me of a Maxfield Parish painting where you have this moody blue and gold lighting that is like at the moment of dawn where light is beginning to bounce off...peach, blue, those kind of tones, like a painting starting to appear with positive feelings.
Something rising up and I see these tall figures that are rising and almost like giants, beings of some sort. Physically it's hard to describe, almost symbolic. They're tall then shoot up and get taller.
[Try to connect with them]:
I feel like these subjects, if they are subjects, continue to expand and are out of reach.
First I saw balls of lights thrown into clouds, then I was in a tall cavernous area that was underground and the walls felt energetic and they could like affect you energetically very strongly. I perceived around and got the feeling of stormy earth (changes or an event).
[Probe on the balls of light]:
They're like charged plasma balls of energy. When I go into it I can perceive something moving around very fast which makes them invisible but you can perceive the motion (it's like the remnant or after-affect of motion).
Makes my chest kind of heavy momentarily. Somehow it's related to beings, being type energy related. Beings here...energy (over) there.
[How is this whole thing is affecting this planet?]:
(follow further into the chain of events or into the future):
I see bright light, love and light, maturity, age, broad movement, new land formation, new plants growing, some things that are vast.
End of Session.
UPDATE: An interesting potential connection to this target pointed out by a commenter is Hyperborea, a land mythologized in history. Legend told that the sun was supposed to rise and set only once a year in Hyperborea, which would either place it at the north or south pole where the sun rises and sets once per year.
"According to Jason Jeffrey, H. P. Blavatsky, René Guénon and Julius Evola all shared the belief in the Hyperborean, polar origins of mankind and a subsequent solidification and devolution.[57] Blavatsky describes the Hyperboreans as the origin of the second "root race" and as non-intelligent ethereal creatures that reproduced by budding.[58][59][60] However, Jeffrey's account may contradict some theosophical tenets, as according to other authors like Santucci, theosophy sees the passage from one root race to another as always evolution, never devolution, thus the Hyperborean could not be superior to modern man.[61]
According to these esotericists,[citation needed] the Hyperborean people represented the Golden Age polar center of civilization and spirituality, with mankind, instead of evolving from a common ape ancestor, progressively devolving into an apelike state as a result of straying, both physically and spiritually, from its mystical otherworldly homeland in the Far North, succumbing to the 'demonic' energies of the South Pole, the greatest point of materialization.[62]
"Robert Charroux first related the Hyperboreans to an ancient astronaut race of "reputedly very large, very white people" who had chosen "the least warm area on the earth because it corresponded more closely to their own climate on the planet from which they originated".[63] Miguel Serrano was influenced by Charroux's writings on the Hyperboreans." -
"The earliest extant source that mentions Hyperborea in detail, Herodotus' Histories (Book IV, Chapters 32–36),[6] dates from c. 450 BC.[7] Herodotus recorded three earlier sources that supposedly mentioned the Hyperboreans, including Hesiod and Homer, the latter purportedly having written of Hyperborea in his lost work Epigoni. Although, Homer's provenance to the epic is suspect by Herodotus. (Note the similarity of "Hersod, or something similar"to Hesiod and Herodotus.
Pindar, a contemporary of Herodotus, described the otherworldly perfection of the Hyperboreans:
Never the Muse is absent from their ways: lyres clash and flutes cry and everywhere maiden choruses whirling. Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live

More on the Paper Sessions
Dimi draws a military figure with mathematical thinking and a pen and paper type:
Meanwhile Jemma writes the following descriptor of a main subject at the end:
Her second session reveals more interesting hits and details:
Charlie writes of something treacherous, unforgiving and having a million ways to fail. Timing is everything, and strategy and tactics are important. It is hard to get through with pitfalls and immense and arduous. Time and place is everything. There is a need to move out eventually.
