Laurence McKinley Gould - Antarctic Explorer
Laurence McKinley Gould was born today, August 22 in 1896. During my recent research, I discover the Antarctic-Minnesota connection with Gould.
As the first geologist to set foot on Antarctica's interior, he was Admiral Byrd's second-in-command for Byrd's first expedition to the South Pole. From 1945 to 1962, he was President of Carlton College. He loved Minnesota as much as my father, George W. Gibbs, Jr did. Quote from an unofficial Carlton College site: "I feel best in weather that makes me shiver." - On moving to Minnesota.- Laurence M. Gould
I'm inspired by Antarctic stories and connections such as this. Please write me if you have a connection to share.
