Although well-known for his famous flight over the North Pole, Admiral Richard E. Byrd's adventures in Antarctica are just as remarkable. Wide-eyed youngsters will feel the excitement and danger as they read about the isolated station where Byrd lived in below zero temperatures and his brush with death when he was almost poisoned with carbon monoxide. It's a tale of personal courage and dedication, set against a backdrop of perhaps the harshest environment on earth.
