From the moment Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr. first left Antarctica, he knew he would return. Both the scope of the strange land and the uncharted scientific promise it held were too much to leave behind forever. This second Antarctic journey proved as daring, eventful, and inspiring as any Byrd ever embarked upon.
