This Week in Outdoor History 2
Filed in archive Outdoor News on May 10, 2007
Not much in outdoor history, but North Pole expeditions continues to make history this week, especially with Barbara Hillary's amazing accomplishment. I'm sure her feat will make the cut next year.
Once again, since I'm starting this late in May, for this week, I'm posting all events from the first of May until the end of this week.
May 6 1954: British athlete Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes (3:59:4).
May 9, 1926: Explorers Richard E. Byrd and Floyd Bennett flew over the North Pole.
May 16, 1975: Japanese climber Junko Tabei became the first woman to summit mount everest.
