Description:
After wintering near Cape Sheridan on Ellesmere Island, British explorer Robert Peary (1856–1920) reaches what he thinks is the North Pole, although modern studies of his field notes place him 150 miles short of his destination. His claim will be formally recognized by the U.S. in 1911.Ajouté au bande de temps:
