With Byrd at the Bottom of the World vividly recounts American explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s expedition to the South Pole. From the sublime to the ridiculous, author and fellow explorer Norman D. Vaughan recalls the historic moments, practical jokes, jealousies, and affection among compatriots facing the dangers of a frozen and inhospitable continent.

Norman Vaughan (1905-2005) accompanied Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his 1928 expedition to Antarctica. He returned at the age of 88 to climb the frozen mountain Byrd named after him. A mushing legend, Vaughan competed in the Iditarod sled dog race across Alaska every year for thirteen straight years, beginning at age 68.
