'The true first edition of Byrd's official narrative of his initial Antarctic expedition. For many it marks the end of the "heroic age" in Antarctic exploration and its replacement by the "mechanical age". The use of the aeroplane, the aerial camera, the radio and the snowmobile were all brought to bear on Antarctica's vastness' (Taurus).
