Although less well known than his famous flight over the North Pole, Admiral Richard E. Byrd???s adventures in Antarctica are just as remarkable. Wide-eyed youngsters will feel the excitement and danger as they read about the isolated and tight little manned station where Byrd lived, separated from his crew; the temperatures that plunged to 60 degrees below zero; and Byrd???s brush with death when a small stove he needed to keep warm???and stay alive???filled the air with carbon monoxide. It???s a tale of personal courage and dedication, all set against a backdrop of perhaps the harshest environment on earth.????Paul Rink spent seven years in South America, working in the fields of mechanical and steam engineering, physics, and electronics. He did intelligence work during World War II, and after a time at sea, devoted himself to writing many books for young teens; articles for such magazines as American Heritage and Esquire; and television dramas. ??
