Byrd (1888-1957, born in Winchester, Virginia) made the first of his
four expeditions to Antarctica between 1928 and 1930, during which time
he established the "Little America" base and became the first man to
fly over both the North and South Poles. Subsequent expeditions were made
between 1933 and 1935 and between 1939 and 1941. Byrd detailed his adventures
in books and on the lecture circuit following his returns to the U.S. Proceeds
from his books and talks were used to finance additional expeditions, which
continued through 1956. Byrd, who discovered Marie Byrd Land and the
Edsel Ford Mountains, was given the honorary title, "Mayor of
Antarctica".
