About this Item

Fine in Fine. This is a First Edition, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR Rear Admiral Richard Byrd. Dust Wrapper in archival cover. Back from the twilight of an ice age Admiral Byrd has come with a story of sights that men have hardly dreamed of, sights that no human eye has ever witnessed before- an account of difficulties met and overcome in the "loveliest and most unforgiving of continents." Using the most primitive means and the most modern, pushing on by ship, dog team and by plane, Admiral Byrd and his men penetrated to the very heart of the Antarctic. There, with the latest scientific instruments, they coaxed from the age-old ice secrets that have been locked there since the world was young.
