After short stints elsewhere, Owen moved to ''The New York Times'' in 1921 and returned in 1926 after two years running the General Electric news bureau. That year he covered the air race to the North Pole, flying with Roald Amundsen (airship ''Norge'') as far as Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard and meeting Richard Evelyn Byrd there. (Ny-Ålesund was the northernmost point of departure for both.) Owen joined the First Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1928–1930. He submitted graphic radio dispatches that were printed in many newspapers and won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1930 citing the 1929 portion of that work.〔("Reporting" ).

His book about the expedition was published in 1934, entitled ''South of the Sun'', and he wrote two more polar books later. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russell Owen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
