Klondike Nira, Antarctic Explorer

On October 7, 1933, in preparing for an exploration of Antarctica, Admiral Richard E. Byrd asked for three Guernsey cows to go on the voyage in order that the crew might have fresh milk. The ship set sail for Norfolk, Virginia, on October 11, 1933, to pick up coal and its other distinguished passenger, Nira Pola, another Guernsey cow from Klondike Farms in Elkin, North Carolina. Nira Pola was with calf, and Admiral Byrd thought it would be a novelty if a calf was born on the ice. <continue reading>
