[00:22.78]the American explorer, R.E. Byrd,

[00:42.09]they soon ran into serious trouble.
[00:46.01]At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash.
[00:51.39]It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10, 000 feet.

[01:04.15]The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet.
