Little America: Aerial Exploration in the Antarctic, The Flight to the South Pole (Admiral Byrd Classics)

American hero and explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr. tells the story of his first journey through Antarctica and the founding of a series of camps and bases referred to as â€œLittle America.â€ Over the years, many similar areas were developed as camps and research areas on Byrdâ€™s Antarctic missions, but the founding of â€œLittle Americaâ€ required great courage and leadership. In awe of the unforgiving landscape, he eagerly met its treacherous challenges. Byrd outlines the blueprint for his first mission to Antarctica and provides a glimpse into the obstacles he and his team overcame at the worldâ€™s end.

Reissued for todayâ€™s readers, Admiral Byrdâ€™s classic explorations by land, air, and sea transport us to the farthest reaches of the globe. As companions on Byrdâ€™s journeys, modern audiences experience the polar landscape through Byrdâ€™s own struggles, doubts, revelations, and triumphs and share the excitement of these timeless adventures.
