The New Yorker, August 25 , 1928P. 11 Kardex and office supplies were included in the equipment of the Byrd expedition, amounting to $2,500.
For the Norwegians, the expedition amounted to a tutorial: they were hoping to teach the Indian scientists how to do similar experiments.
But other than the recapture of Acre, a seaport town thirteen miles north of Mount Carmel, the expedition amounted to a failure for the Christians.
Members of the Lewis and Clark expedition reported vast amounts of salmon drying along the riverbanks.
But then, to continue the metaphor, the watch seemed to get give me a plate of hot wings and a beer and said dig in, slowly getting me drunk as it told me stories about fishing expeditions involving copious amounts of alcohol and scantily clad island women.
Several successful expeditions have recovered modest amounts of material, but the island, which is regularly flooded by the mouth of the Amazon, has resisted complete excavation.
Byrd went to Detroit, met with Edsel Ford, and won his promise of $15,000, John D. Rockefeller contributed a similar amount, and the expedition seemed likely to become a reality.
Concerned not to eat the village out of food, the scientists employed local people to plant sweet potatoes and a spinach-like crop in preparation for their expedition in January, reducing the amount of corned beef and rice flown in via helicopters, the only means of transport to the village.
In this case the order was so wide ranging it amounted to a fishing expedition.
Unlike subsequent expeditions, the crew of Expedition 1 had a somewhat modest amount of science experiments to conduct, due to the priority placed on station construction.
It's not just an event; it's a movement: NOLS is asking youth everywhere to hike their own 10,000 steps, roughly the amount of steps the expedition will take on summit day, to commemorate the occasion.
