Admiral Richard E. Byrd
In January of 1934, Admiral Richard E. Byrd began an Antarctic expedition that would change his life forever. Already a celebrated explorer, Byrd's expeditions were media sensations on radio and film. On this trip, Byrd had an audacious undertaking in mind: manning a weather station alone, miles from the American base along the coast, through the harsh Antarctic winter. The solitude would bring enlightenment and personal reckoning for Byrd as he struggled to survive the bitter -70 degree temperatures. "This book is the account of a personal experience," Byrd begins. "so personal that for four years I couldn't bring myself to write it." Despite Byrd's reluctance, the book is a riveting account of survival and endurance.
This version of Alone is fully produced with a soundscape of music and atmospheric effects to place you right there with Admiral Byrd through this harrowing adventure. Many voices fill in the other characters that interact with Byrd as he launches his expedition, speaking with him over the shortwave radio. The experience is reflective, beautiful, and gripping. Alone is a survival tale like no other.
