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.

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-

E xplorer Howard Carter, funded

Carnarvon, recently discovered an

Egyptian burial site in the Valley of

the Kings just outside Luxor, along the Nile

river in eastern Egypt. This monumental dis-

covery marks one of the greatest achieve-

ments ever made in archeology. Inside the

Kings tomb, which was opened on November

26, lie countless gold artifacts, furniture, even

a small boat. Among the artifacts that Carter

and his team have just begun to unearth are

chariots plated in gold and other precious

stones, Egyptian clothes, and ancient weap-
