Radio Towers
The three radio towers at Little America, 1929, Richard E. Byrd Papers, #7801_15.
Days of laborious unloading supplies and building shelters followed the Expedition's arrival in Antarctica, resulting in a complete village that Byrd named "Little America." Aside from an administration building and bunk house, the complex included three radio antenna towers, a mess hall, airplane hangers, storage sheds and a machine shop that contained the first generator of electricity in Antarctica.
