Title: Conquering the Ice: Byrd's Flight to the South Pole, The Ohio State University Libraries

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/conquering-the-ice/

Description: November 29, 2004 marked the 75th Anniversary of Richard E. Byrd's historical flight over the South Pole. This was the first time that flight over the Pole had been attempted, and up to this point in time, only two parties had ever reached the South Pole and only one survived the trip back. Nevertheless, Byrd was buoyed from his successes of the North Pole Flight in 1926 and his Transatlantic Flight in 1927. Antarctica was the next logical achievement. This was to be the largest and the costliest expedition in the history of the exploration of Antarctica to that time, with costs ultimately reaching more than 1 million dollars. This web exhibit documents that historic flight. NOTE: any issues with site navigation/missing graphics existed in the pre-Archive-It captured site.
