At 86 he has no business being there.
They have only basic medical facilities, and often

"Who died and made you King?"

Paleeeze! Col Norman Vaughn who accompanied Byrd on his Antarctic Expedition in 1928-30.

To honor Norman for his contributions as chief dog driver, Admiral Byrd named a mountain after him. On December 16, 1994, three days shy of his 89th birthday, Norman fulfilled a lifelong dream. He climbed his namesake, Mount Vaughan, a 10,302' Antarctic peak.

So there it is. :)
