TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | Explorer Robert Peary's Swing and a Miss | | On April 6th (that's today!), 1909, American explorer Robert Peary became the first person to nab one of the last remaining laurels of exploration by reaching the North Pole; or so he thought. Out of the woodwork arrived Dr. Frederick Cook, a former associate of Peary's who claimed that he was the rightful owner of the crown and had discovered the pole nearly a full year prior. The nation was spellbound by the controversy until congress officially recognized Peary's expedition as the first to reach the pole. However, recent studies have found that both Peary and Cook never reached the true pole, but that Peary's efforts were far closer to those of Cook, falling a mere 30-miles shy. | | |
