When Admiral Richard E. Byrd set out on his second Antarctic expedition in 1934, he was already an international hero for having piloted the first flights over the North and South Poles. His plan for this latest adventure was to spend six months alone near the bottom of the world, gathering weather data and indulging his desire “to taste peace and quiet long enough to know how good they really are.” But early on things went terribly wrong. Isolated in the pervasive polar night with no hope of release until spring, Byrd began suffering inexplicable symptoms of mental and physical illness. By the time he discovered that carbo

Alone: The Classic Polar Adventure by Richard E. Byrd Book Review

Name: John Walker
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: ScienceadventureandmadnessintheAntarcticwinter
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019
Review: To generations of Americans, Richard Byrd was the quintessential explorer of unknown terrain. First to fly over the North Pole (although this feat has been disputed from shortly after he claimed it to the present day), recipient of the Medal of Honor for this claimed exploit, pioneer in trans-Atlantic flight (although beaten by Lindbergh after a crash on a practice takeoff, he successfully flew from New York to France in June 1927), Antarctic explorer and first to fly over the South Pole, and leader of four more expeditions to the Antarctic, including commanding the operation which established the permanent base at the South Pole which remains there to this day.In 1934, on his second Antarctic expedition, Byrd set up and manned a meteorological station on the Ross Ice Shelf south of 80°, in which he would pass the Antarctic winter—alone. He originally intended the station to be emplaced much further south and manned by three people (he goes into extensive detail why “cabin fever” makes a two man crew a prescription for disaster), and then, almost on a lark it seems from the narrative, decides, when forced by constraints of weather and delivery of supplies for the winter, to go it alone. In anticipation, he welcomes the isolation from distractions of daily events, the ability to catch up on reading, thinking, and listening to music.His hut was well designed and buried in the ice to render it immune from the high winds and drifting snow of the Antarctic winter. It was well provisioned to survive the winter: food and fuel tunnels cached abundant supplies. Less thought out was the stove and its ventilation. As winter set in, Byrd succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning, made more severe by fumes from the gasoline generator he used to power the radio set which was his only link to those wintering at the Little America base on the coast.Byrd comes across in this narrative as an extraordinarily complex character. One moment, he's describing how his lamp failed when, at −52° C, its kerosene froze, next he's recounting how easily the smallest mistake: loss of sight of the flags leading back to shelter or a jammed hatch back into the hut can condemn one to despair and death by creeping cold, and then he goes all philosophical:“The dark side of a man's mind seems to be a sort of antenna tuned to catch gloomy thoughts from all directions. I found it so with mine. That was an evil night. It was as if all the world's vindictiveness were concentrated upon me as upon a personal enemy. I sank to depths of disillusionment which I had not believed possible. It would be tedious to discuss them. Misery, after all, is the tritest of emotions.”Here we have a U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, Medal of Honor winner, as gonzo journalist in the Antarctic winter—extraordinary. Have any other great explorers written so directly from the deepest recesses of their souls?Byrd's complexity deepens further as he confesses to fabricating reports of his well-being in radio reports to Little America, intended, he says, to prevent them from launching a rescue mission which he feared would end in failure and the deaths of those who undertook it. And yet Byrd's increasingly bizarre communications eventually caused such a mission to be launched, and once it was, his diary pinned his entire hope upon its success.If you've ever imagined yourself first somewhere, totally alone and living off the supplies you've brought with you: in orbit, on the Moon, on Mars, or beyond, here is a narrative of what it's really like to do that, told with brutal honesty by somebody who did. Admiral Byrd's recounting of his experience is humbling to any who aspire to the noble cause of exploration.

Title: ThisIsTheWayToMidwinterNightMadness
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013
Review: In 1934, Admiral Richard Byrd took residence in a shack in the South Pole's interior to monitor the harsh weather and active auroras throughout the long, dark winter. Initially, the operation was going to use three men, each having their own jobs throughout the 6 month period, but due to the tiny size of the shack, Byrd thought it would be detrimental to relationships and decided to go it alone. He thought the time alone would be good for reflection, reading and listening to music. Although it seems comical that soon after his his crew deserts him, his biggest troubles are that he cannot find two very important articles: his alarm clock and his cookbook. However, the Admiral had bigger fish to fry than making perfect pancakes in the 60 below temperatures with the cold and dark.Admiral Byrd had guessed that something may be amiss with his stove. As several pieces of pipe were lost in transit, they used makeshift pieces made of paint cans to put the stove and pipe together. This was the Admiral's only heat source. His shack had a trapdoor to the snowy landscape above and a side door which lead into snow/ice tunnels where he stored his food, equipment and fuel. Since he gathered it possible that toxic fumes could be leaking into his shack, he would sleep with the stove off and the door open during the night. In the morning he would struggle into his frozen clothing, start the stove and begin the day. Often times his equipment would be frozen, and his antenaes above frozen with a thick crust of ice. His ventilation pipes also froze and gathered large chunks of ice inside which had to be scraped away.This is a very harrowing story. Richard Byrd penned -Alone- several years after his antarctic stay and used his diary and memory to honestly account his experiences. There is beauty, pain, happiness and much sorrow in his story. The bitter cold was horrible, but the beauty of the auroras breathtaking. His reflections on how little humans actually need to survive is very refreshing as he had much time to reflect on the important things in his life. In conjuction with reading this book, I watched the 1941 film, "Scott Of The Antarctic," and I found it a fascinating look at the area I was reading about. The white out conditions, frostbitten explorers in heavy woolen clothing and furs, the glacial cliffs and dangerous crevices in the movie, made the book even more stunning. Byrd mentions many explorers and ill-fated expeditions in this book.I highly recommend this book as a testament to the great explorers of the Antarctic and to Admiral Byrd who truly did have a harrowing time. It's a great and interesting read.

Review: I enjoyed this very readable account of Byrd’s anarctic solo stay at the remote base. It’s hard to even imagine the physical and psychological hardships being in such a hostile and remote location placed upon Byrd, but he does a fine job in articulating his experiences. The book is very readable and you can feel his pain as you read his accounting.

Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014
Review: The book is written four years after his trip to the Antarctic but he remembers it vividly and includes many notes from his diary during that time. I love reading books from long ago because of the verbage they use. It is very old world and really makes you ponder on how language has changed. That being said, it is a very easy read. Admiral Byrd has more fortitude than I probably ever will. His fine balance between running the stove which was poisoning him with carbon monoxide and leaving it off while trying to survive the cold was very heart wrenching. It really makes you feel for the guy. His description of the interior walls of the cabin slowly becoming more and more encased in ice each day was bone chilling. I read this book in Texas in the middle of summer and I swear I got cold every time I started to read it. There is a small amount of mundane jargon in the book that is scientific based like weather observations and readings but this is his sole purpose for the trip so I don't feel it detracts much from the story despite it's repetitiveness.
