The first undisputed sighting of the Pole was on May 12, 1926 by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his American sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth from the airship Norge.

In the strictest sense of attaining a pole, this does not count, as he never set foot there. Although some people credit Amundsen with being the first man to reach both poles.
