BYRD MAKES IMPORTANT ANTARCTIC DISCOVERIES
11-16-34
LITTLE AMERICA (Antarctica) Nov. 16--(Vit Mackay Radio)--(Delayed)--(UP)--Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd returned today from an airplane flight to unexplored lands to the southwards, convinced that Antarctica is, in reality, two continents, or one huge continent bounded on the west by masses of closely interwoven islands.
Jubilant, withal weak from the hazards of a strenuous flight, Byrd termed his observations "the most important flight I have ever made," and predicted his discoveries will compel a radical revision of existing ideas of the southernmost continent's structure.
The powerful twin-motored plane, manned by Chief Pilot Harold I. June and a crew of four, took off from Little America for the flight which Byrd believed gave him an aerial survey of 50,000 square miles.
The plane was aimed at the point where Byrd believed a continental divide would occur. The ship pointed halfway between the Queen Maude range to the southward and Edsel Ford range on the Pacific Coast quadrant.
Flying high, in clear crisp air, the explorer, who made his second voyage to the south to confirm his theory of a divided continent, discovered innumerable mountain passes of majestic size behind the western peaks of the Edsel Ford range.
These peaks, he explained, ran to the limit of vision, and what he saw convinced him, he said, that these masses constitute a continental structure separate from the main mass of Antarctica.

Old Byrd Plane Takes Air Again
LITTLE AMERICA (Antarctica) Dec. 9 (Mackay Radio, Delayed) (AP) A monoplane abandoned here by the first Byrd expedition nearly five years ago was flown successfully yesterday by Lieutenant-Commander Isaac Schlossbach, United States Navy, retired.
With a small group of volunteer helpers Schlossbach dug the plane out of ice in which it was completely buried, rebuilt the wing struts and overhauled the engine.

BYRD'S MEN BREAK CAMP
Ships' Loading Difficult Unless Waves Remove Miles of Ice
LITTLE AMERICA (Antarctica) Jan. 18 - (Via Mackay Radio) (U.P.) - The second Antarctic expedition led by Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd began breaking camp today, making ready for the early departure home. It was the anniversary of this second landing on the Antarctic continent.
The more valuable stores are being packed and hauled to the surface. To do this it has been necessary to break down the tunnels which for nearly a year have been familiar by-ways--the worn and rutted paths of a mole-like existence.
NOVILLE IN CHARGE
They now lie open for the first time, with the light let in. Everything fit for salvage will be brought home to help reduce the expedition's debt.
Lieutenant-Commander George O. Noville is directing breaking camp. Both the Bear of Oakland and the Jacob Ruppert, supply ships, are nearing the Bay of Whales here.
The problem of loading the ships has become a matter of deep concern. Surprisingly little ice has moved this year. The new ice, though badly cracked and rotten, is still in place and holding a line running from a point a little south of West Cape, about due east of the ice barrier wall on the opposite side of the bay. It is several miles north of there the Ruppert berthed a year ago.
SIX-MILE HAUL
Unless a strong swell or storm starts the ice moving in a few days, the party will have to haul stores six miles to the ship, the last mile or more over badly cracked ice cakes. Tractors are too heavy for this last mile, and dog teams will have to be utilized.
The Bear of Oakland is due at Little America on Sunday. She is mapping the ice barrier on her way to port, and will probably travel 400 miles before reaching Byrd's base.

Flies Over Glacier Waste Near Newly Found Range
LITTLE AMERICA (Antarctica) Nov. 19 (Via Mackay Radio) (AP) Chief Pilot Harold June and four other men of the Byrd Antarctica expedition circled Mt. Grace McKinley, 200 nautical miles east of here, late today.
They had taken off in a biplane from here at 2:37 p.m. and were headed into the unpenetrated glacier wastes of Marie Byrd Land and along the prolongation of the Edsel Ford range which Admiral Byrd discovered November 15.
Besides June, the men in the plane were Co-Pilot William Bowlin, Kennett Rawson, navigator; Joseph Pelter, aerial mapping cameraman, and Carl Petersen, cameraman and radio operator.
