Query: Fascinating

An interesting record of one man's brave attempt to be alone in the up in the Southern region of the Arctic area. An insight into the determination as well as the moral character of Richard Byrd. One can only admire such endeavor and bravery. We ought to be more appreciative of the pioneers spirit in those men who forged ahead through very difficult and physically painful experiences, just so we could know the facts about life in a frozen waste land. A well written book, and definitely worth reading.
