O ur very own
Richard Byrd's
first and larg-
est expedition
was wildly successful yester-
day, November 29, after
Byrd and three flight com-
panions made a pass over the
Antarctic Pole of the Earth.
Landing in October of last
year, Byrd quickly estab-
lished an expansive and effi-
ciently stocked base named
Little America in honor of
our great country. This facil-
ity was where the Antarctic
crew began most of their re-
cent exploration treks. This
camp provided full commu-
nication with the world,
meaning that the discovery
of the Poles can reach our
pages months earlier than
before. During the expedi-
tions around the Ross Ice
Shelf, Byrd was specially
suited to his expe-
ditions through his
training in landing
sea planes on open
ocean during the
night. Receiving
his training in the
navy as a Com-
mander, Richard
Byrd was effective in keeping
his men safe and inspired.
Through this discipline, the
expedition discovered a new
mountain range and assigned
the name Rockefeller Moun-
tains to the great the peaks.
Beyond the distant Rockefel-
ler, Byrd claimed more terri-
tory, and lovingly named it
Marie Byrd Land, after none
other than Mrs. Byrd herself.
Byrd’s great accomplish-
ments culminated with the
crowning victory completed
just yesterday, the nineteen
hour flight from the Ameri-
can base on the Ross Ice
Shelf to the South
Pole and back,
some 496 miles.
Not long after their
return to the base,
the astounding tale
reached the U.S.
through Little
America’s broad-
casting system.
Great excitement burst
out in New York City
last night after Ameri-
cans became the first
to cross the Atlantic
Ocean by flight and the
South Pole by flight.
“Our American fly-
boys are simply the
best”, said one enthu-
siastic fan in Times
Square last night. De-
spite the public plea
for Byrd to return to
the states, he and his
team have expressed
wishes to stay in the
Antarctic longer to
explore more territory
and take observations
of the interior.
Byrd enjoys expansive
public support and
financial donations,
much of wish go to
finance his revolution-
ary expeditions. For
now, we’ll just have to
wait for his return.

pedition, the explorer
was welcomed as a hero
in England and chroni-
cled his results in "he Heart of the Antarctic"
In 1914, Shackleton
once again set sail for the
south, this time with the
backing of the British
Government. However,
the Endurance was
crushed in ice during the
expedition and Shackle-
ton and his men were
forced to trek across the
icy slopes of Antarctica
to seek rescue in the
Ross Sea.
During the last few
years, as a result of the
stress of both raising
funds and carrying out
his missions, Shackleton
had encountered more
and more health prob-
lems. As a result, Ernest
Shackleton died of a
heart attack on South
Georgia at the age of 48.
He is survived by his three
children and his loving
wife. This amazing ex-
plorer will truly be missed
E rnest Shackleton
was a natural
born explorer.
Born in Kilkee,
Ireland, he received his
schooling for three years at
Dulwich College.
Ernest Shackleton was
originally a merchant ma-
rine officer. However, in
1874, he quickly realized
his potential as an ex-
plorer. Seizing the oppor-
tunity to see the world for
himself, Shackleton experi-
enced his first expedition
to Antarctica in 1901, with
Robert Scott. During this
formative trek, he hiked
over the Ross Ice Shelf.
Ernest Shackleton mar-
ried Emily Dorman in
1901, and they had three
children together: Ray-
mond, Cecily, and Eddie.
In 1908, this hard boiled
explorer launched his own
expedition, which resulted
in the discovery of the
Beardmore Glacier, the
South Magnetic Pole, and
the successful climbing of
Mt. Erebus. After this ex-
