Leningrad Glavsevmorputi 1935. 240 p.il. map Hard cover, slightly enlarged format. Robert Edwin Peary 1856 - 1920 - American explorer of the Arctic, traveler. Devoted 23 years of life to the task of reaching the North Pole, carried out several expeditions to Greenland and the Central Arctic. Officially, he is considered the first person to reach the North Pole. According to him, this happened on April 6, 1909. Almost simultaneously, American Frederick Cook claimed to have reached the Pole on April 21, 1908, and the proceedings lasted until Peary's death. The debate on this issue is not over to this day, since the middle of the 20th century, versions have spread that neither Peary nor Cook reached the North Pole: in general, a critical attitude towards Peary's legacy prevailed.
