Opening illustration:
Admiral byrd expedition to the south pole. The original plan was for he and 2 other men to spend an arctic night With their scientific observations trying to see what they could find Out about life in that cold part of the world.
The plan was aborted When the supply plane crashed and only enough supplies for one man Were retrieved. Byrd decided to be that man. He assigned himself to an 11' x 15' hut dug deep into the snow where he was to stay for the arctic Night.

He recorded the temperature on one Day to be 72 degrees below zero. The fumes began to make him sick again, So he turned off the lantern and stove and went without heat for Three days. The only light he used was a candle. It became apparent That if he was not rescued he would not be able to make it through the Winter. He thought help would come after calling rescuers on his Radio, but they did not come.

For only two things matter: the affection and Understanding of my family.'' this was the only thing admiral byrd could Think about when he thought about dying.
