Biographical History
Louise Boyd (1887-1972) was a geographer, big game hunter, patroness of the arts and leader of eight expeditions into polar regions. In 1955 she flew over the North Pole to take photographs for the American Geographical Society. She held honorary degrees from the Universities of Alaska and California and from Mills College.
In 1926, Boyd chartered the Norwegian sealer Hobby to take her and a group of friends to Franz Josef Land to hunt polar bear. This was Boyd's first trip to the Arctic. She would later head many scientific expeditions to the Arctic regions.
