1935 Second Richard Byrd Expedition to Antarctica | First Edition Signed by Byrd
The Story:
- The Antarctic winds howled and the temperatures plunged to unfathomably cold levels. Even still, Richard Byrd huddled near the stove inside the Advance Base, slowly being poisoned by carbon monoxide. Rescued just in time, Byrd and his near-death experience became legends – much like his discoveries which helped shape the world’s map and understanding of Antarctica.
The Book:
- “Discovery” was Byrd’s personal memoir of the events of his second voyage, seemingly covering every detail with numerous photograph illustrations.
- This example is signed by the author.
