SPONSOR ADMIRAL RICHARD ByRD Little America. January 1934. five years after its founding as a suburb of the South Pole. The Adolph Ochs Radio Towers, named after the late publisher of The New York Times, are still stand-ing. B y r d Antarctic Expedition Admiral Byrd, who consented to sponsor this volume as a sort of god-father, is broadcasting. Listen! . . and there is much yet to be done in the Antarctic. We hope our work will make the next explorer’s job easier . . . above all else —what means more to me ... is that we left not a single man in Antarctica, and for that we give thanks to Providence.” Ssshh! He is speaking again . . . and it is to us this time. “There is much yet to be done in your Little America— there always is! The Class of ’37 hopes their work will ease the task of Expeditions to come.” Reproduced by Special Permission of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition ★ 9 ★
