Admiral Richard E. Byrd, a Freemason.

Admiral Richard E. Byrd was asked the following during a publicly recorded interview on a television program named Longines Chronoscope: “Well Admiral Byrd, I think everyone can understand why the interest in the North Pole, because its so near our greatest challenger, Soviet Russia. But, why this interest in the bottom of the world? Nobody living down there, is there?”

Admiral Richard E. Byrd replied: “I’ll tell you one reason they are interested. It’s by far the most, uh, valuable and important place in the world for science. That’s where the scientific groups all over the nation really are interested. But more important than that, it has to do with the future of the nation. For those to come after us, or even during your lifetime. Because it happens to be an untouched reservoir of natural resources.”

Later in the interview he was asked the following question: “Admiral, you speak of the resources of Antarctica, what are they? What, uh, what are the natural resources there?”

Admiral Richard E. Byrd replied: “Well, eh, we’ve found enough coal within 180 miles of the South Pole in a great, ah, ridge of mountains. It’s not covered with snow. Enough to supply the whole world for quite a while. Ah, that’s…that’s the coal. Now, there’s evidence of many other minerals. We’re pretty sure there’s oil. Now, that coal shows the bottom of the world now by far the coldest spot in the world where that coal is it gets 100 below zero in the winter. There it once was tropical. So, uh, we think there’s oil and evidence probably of uranium there.”

Then Admiral Byrd was asked: “Well, Admiral Byrd, are private expeditions a thing of the past? Is expedition and exploration now purely a government function because of the tremendous cost to an organization?”

Admiral Byrd replied: “Ah, no, I don’t think so. I think down south it may be more less a thing of a past. But not other…other expeditions. A lot of them going off now.”

Interviewer asked: “Admiral Byrd, may I ask you, is there a great difference in the top of the world from the bottom of the world?”

Admiral Byrd replied: “Ah, there is. Now, the North Pole is the center of an ocean 10,000 feet deep. The South Pole is the center of a plateau 10,000 feet high. The North Pole, ya see, is surrounded by continents slightly frozen. The Antarctic continent is surrounded by a belt of ice, frozen seas, and is at least 12,000 miles thick. Now, the south is a plateau that gets in some places 14,000 feet up. Ah, I’ve been in areas over 13,000, and it’s a little bit chilly up there. So, there’s that big difference between the top and bottom of the world. The north really isn’t that cold up there on the arctic ocean.”

So, why is the public deterred and prohibited from independent exploration of Antarctica? Per Admiral Byrd, it’s because of the abundant natural resources. Additionally, according to Admiral Richard E.
