EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr., the renowned polar explorer, during the preparations for his third Antarctic Expedition in 1940. Byrd, an elegant and determined figure, stands beside a basket sleigh at Chinook Kennels in Wonalancet, New Hampshire. The expedition, which received official backing from the US government, was a significant endeavor in the history of polar exploration. The basket sleigh, a crucial piece of equipment for traversing the harsh Antarctic terrain, is shown from the rear in this photograph. Its design is simple yet effective, with a wooden frame and sturdy runners that would enable the team to transport supplies and equipment across the icy landscape. The sleigh's name, "Tyrantransport," is a testament to the team's determination and resolve to overcome the challenges of the polar environment. Byrd's previous expeditions had made him a legend in the world of polar exploration, and this expedition was no exception. The preparations at Chinook Kennels were meticulous, with the team testing and refining their equipment to ensure they were ready for the extreme conditions they would face in Antarctica. The photograph captures a moment of quiet determination, as Byrd and his team prepared to embark on another groundbreaking journey to the polar region. The photograph, taken circa 1939, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of polar exploration during this era. It is a reminder of the courage and ingenuity of the explorers who braved the harsh conditions of the Antarctic to expand our understanding of the world and push the boundaries of human endurance.
