It’s been a grueling journey for the Little America expedition, but the real test may have just begun. As I dug into the reports from Joe De Oanahl, navigator of the supporting sledging party, I discovered a chilling tale of survival and deceit. On October 27, 1929, De Oanahl’s team radioed back to base, revealing they were 137 miles from their goal, but the journey was far from smooth. The temperatures had dropped, and the team was struggling to stay warm. It’s a miracle they made 17 miles that day.
