In 1949, Faller took a one-year sabbatical from his studies at MIT to spend a year in the arctic (at the
Resolute Bay weather station) collecting atmospheric data with weather balloons. While there, he and an associate discovered a cairn on Griffith Island, marking what appeared to be a grave. As a
