BOSTON — (UP) — The world of science and adventure today mourn ed the passing of Adm. Richard Evelyn Byrd who unlocked the frozen secrets of Antarctica in four famed explorations that covered a record two million miles.
The "pioneer of the poles" died Monday night of a heart attack in his Becen Hill home at the age of 68. His family and physician were at the bedside when death came "peacefully in sleep" to the man who excited the world with his exploits in exploration and naval aviation.
Adm. Byrd Dies At 68
Adm. Bvrd spoke here Feb. 27, 1936 on what was then the University lecture series. He described his adventures on his second Antarctic expedition.
The four expeditions were launched in 1928, 1934, 1939 and 1947 and he never ceased his efforts for continued development of the Antarctic. He was deeply convinced the immense frozen expanse would furnish natural resources, strategic advantages and valuable knowledge for the United States.
At Age of 68
Forced to "retire" from active duty because of a leg injury at 27 shortly after graduation from Annapolis, Adm. Byrd went on to cover more square miles of Anarctica than all other explorers combined. In the interval, he became one of the pioneers of naval aviation, served in both World wars, and became the Navy's youngest Rear Admiral, at the age of 41.
