Byrd was an arctic explorer and adventurer. The book begins by explaining how Igloo became Byrd's pet, and then it describes their journey to Spitsbergen, Norway where they had to unload the body of Josephine Ford (their plane) on makeshift rafts as there was nowhere to port. They had to build the plane, construct a runway, and solve problems caused to the skis by a failed takeoff attempt. Despite it all, Byrd was the first person to fly over the North Pole. Later, Byrd also crossed the Atlantic and flew over the South Pole. On his South Pole, expedition, Igloo accompanied him to the "site" in Antarctica, but not on the plane trip.
