Fostered by knowing America's foremost polar explorer, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and with strong family support, Barell's dream continues south to McMurdo Sound and to the two-mile-thick polar plateau. Follow Barell's expeditions, including becoming a teacher, and learn how all of the survival lessons of Antarctica apply to striving for our own goals and being successful.
