A great read! Full of so many details about the early 20th century in America: the media landscape, New York (esp. the Polish community), & Antarctica (of course). An interesting detail was that the expedition at one point speculated to the press that they might find "lost world" sort of environments, or even humans living on the continent; this made me wonder if that was the state of knowledge in the 1920s, or if the expedition was feeding sensational ideas to the press in hopes of increasing public enthusiasm and funding. It would have been nice to get more of the stories of the other two stowaways, who, like the titular stowaway, both stowed away multiple times on multiple vessesls! But, it sounds like the historical documentation isn't really there for either of them. This book also makes me want to read more about Antarctica & the history of exploration there. Finally, I noticed the author used the terms "Ford Trimotor" and "Fokker Trimotor" interchangeably. They're two different (albeit similar & similar looking) aircraft types! Both were early airliners used in 1920s exploration. It doesn't really matter, but it irritated me slightly.
