Description
English:

Bronze statue of Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd

"Upon the bright globe he carved his signature of courage." While other memorials along Memorial Avenue honor military units and personnel, Admiral Richard E. Byrd's memorial honors an explorer. His was the first memorial installed on Memorial Avenue; it was dedicated in 1961. Byrd's spirit of inquiry took him to the North and South Poles. In a series of private and government-sponsored expeditions in the 1930s and 1940s he flew over Antarctica, discovering and mapping entire new mountain ranges.
