Wrong pole, Peary went for the North Pole, which he claimed he reached on April 7th 1909, a claim which is still disputed today.
The North Pole lies in the Arctic, the South Pole is in the Antarctic. So it'd be impossible to reach North Pole in Antarctic, since it isn't there.
The North Pole was first reached by Robert Peary in 1909, although there is some controversy surrounding the validity of his claim. The South Pole was reached by Roald Amundsen in 1911.
The First men to reach both Poles on foot, were Charlie Burton and Ranulph Fiennes as part of the Transglobe expedition of 1979/82.
No, as he only flew over it in the airship 'Norge'. This does not count as an attainment of a pole. Even though some people seem to think that it does, and give Amundsen the credit of being first person to both poles.
The first man to reach the north pole was Robert Peary in 1909. He made it there with his employee Matthew Henson and their Inuit guides. Peary's claim was disputed when he returned home but as of today he is recognized as the first man to reach the north pole. Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole is very widely doubted nowadays. Mainly due to lack of evidence in his omission to produce records of observed data for steering: for the direction (variation) of the compass, and for his longitudinal position at any time
In 1909 Robert Peary did not reach the South pole. He claimed to have reached the North Pole, but there is now considerable doubt that he did.
The North Pole lies in the Arctic, the South Pole is in the Antarctic. So it'd be impossible to reach North Pole in Antarctic, since it isn't there.
the north pole to the south pole?
They reached the north pole.
Robert Edwin Peary was an American explorer who is known for leading the first expedition to reach the geographic North Pole in 1909. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer who led the first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911, beating rival explorer Robert Falcon Scott.
yes he did
The North Pole was first reached by Robert Peary in 1909, although there is some controversy surrounding the validity of his claim. The South Pole was reached by Roald Amundsen in 1911.
The first person to reach the North Pole is disputed, but Robert Peary and Matthew Henson were recognized for reaching the North Pole in 1909. Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the geographic South Pole in 1911. Sir Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909 did not attempt to reach the North Pole.
He traveled with Matthew Henson to the North Pole, and they together became the first to reach the North Pole.
According to the history books, it was the North Pole in 1909, with the South Pole following 2 years later. But, seeing the considerable doubt that has been uncovered about Peary's claim to the North Pole, there may have to be a revision.
The first two people to reach the north pole were Robert E. Peary & Matthew Henson
The first explorer to reach the south pole was roald Amundsen who was shortly followed by Robert Scott falcon. Who reached the north pole first, I have no idea.
