With Byrd at the South Pole the story of Little America
Byrd's establishment of Little America and the spectacular first flight over the South Pole--part publicity stunt, part scientific milestone--marked the end of an era. This little-seen record of the 1928-1930 adventure opens with a short introduction by Rear-Admiral Byrd detailing the aims of the expedition and the bravery of previous explorers to the Pole.

"Commander Richard E. Byrd's establishment of "Little America" in Antarctica and his spectacular first flight over the South Pole - part publicity stunt, part scientific milestone - marked the end of an era. This little-seen record of the 1928-30 adventure opens with a short spoken introduction by Rear-Admiral Byrd, detailing the aims of the expedition and the bravery of previous explorers to the Pole. The photography by Rucker and Van Der Veer is brilliant, and this restoration from original 35mm archival material shows it to wonderful advantage."@en
"Film taken on the Byrd Antarctic expedition with an onscreen spoken introduction by Byrd. Primarily a silent film with intertitles and musical score, but there is narration in the last section."@en
