The Orca is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and dolphins. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales. Killer whales are apex predators, as there is no animal that preys on them. Killer whales are considered a cosmopolitan species, and can be found in each of the world's oceans in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas.

-The '''[[Jamesway hut]]''' is a portable and easy-to-assemble hut, designed for polar weather conditions. This version of the Quonset hut was created by James Manufacturing Company of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

-The hut became famous for providing portable warmth and shelter for the U.S. Armed Forces when the Japanese invaded the far Aleutian Islands in Alaska during World War II. More huts were manufactured in the late 1940s for use in the Korean War and many of these were later used by the U.S. [[Antarctic]] Program during the initial Operation Deep Freeze operation from 1956–1961. They remain in use up to the present day. A Jamesway hut has been cached at Camp Ohio II located at the base of [[Mims Spur]] in [[Westarctica]] since the 1960s.
