Byrd Starts Antarctic Quest At Barrier Of Ice
Commander Richard E. Byrd and 65 companions reach the Bay of Whales on the City of New York facing the great Antarctic ice barrier.

Sir George Wilkins backs a separate pole flight as a rival yet cooperative endeavor alongside Byrd. Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott previously reached the pole.
