Hardships of Byrd Party in Antarctica Reach Extreme Winter Trials
The main southern party of Byrd’s second Antarctic expedition describes a brutal month on the rolling ice barrier 100 miles south. Captain Alan Innis Taylor led the party through 432 degree wind chills and bone snow as they marked a trail with orange flags and left fox depots. Dogs suffered many losses as bitter winds and drifting snow battered the team and their animals, with one dog dying after a harness injury and another after a role in the sled chain. A snow quake on March 16 shook the ice shelf, heard like the roar of locomotives as the surface settled several inches.
