Admiral Robert Peary and party- including the Black exploer Matthew Henson, reached what the Admiral thought was the treasured 90 Latitude pole in l909. There is much controversy about this expedition and others, including Frederick Cook, a contemporary and rival of Peary- Cook faked a mountain expedition, so there was some cause for suspicion. It is interesting to note while a Naval Officer- and an Admiral , Peary was of the Civil Engineering Corps and never saw combat- except against nature on the polar path! There is much controversy about his explorations.
