Image description

Richard Byrd's Second Antarctic Expedition, 1934. A lorry en route from the Little America base to try to reach Byrd after unusual radio transmissions from him raised concerns about his welfare. The explorer spent five months alone at an forward outpost making meteorological observations before a relief party was able to reach him, finding him in poor health. Una missione nelle terre antartiche, partita su un autocarro dal campo Little America per raggiungere l'esploratore Byrd al luogo di osservazioni meteorologiche dov'egli vive solo da quattro mesi, ha seguito la traccia segnata da bandiere di color arancione, che il Byrd stesso aveva disposto. Ma dopo un percorso di cinquanta miglia l'autocarro ha dovuto arrestarsi, perche i segnali venivano a mancare; e anche le esplorazioni in sci non sono riuscite a trovare l'itinerario da seguire. Illustration for Illustrazione del Popolo, 12 August 1934.
