North Pole Discovered

Men have explored the ice flows of the far north since ancient days. In 1909 men finally reached the Pole. Peary may not have led the expedition that first reached the Pole but he got the credit.

A quote from the series:

The start on the heroic “dash for the Pole” was made from Cape Columbia on Feb. 28, 1909. The expedition, in addition to about twenty Eskimos with their sledges and their many teams of dogs, consisted of seven men from the Roosevelt’s company.
