Description
Antarctica was described by Admiral George Dufek, the first Commander of Operation Deep Freeze in 1955-59, as the most dangerous flying outside of combat.

It begins with the background of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and his first three expeditions in Antarctica from 1928- 41.

And almost three centuries later, when Lewis and Clark venture west to find a Northwest Passage, this world becomes the testing-ground for a young nation's continent-spanning dream.
