No, Mathew Henderson was not the first man to set foot on the North Pole. The honor of being the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole is generally attributed to Robert Peary and his team, who claimed to have arrived there on April 6, 1909. However, this claim has been subject to controversy and debate. Mathew Henderson was a member of Peary's expedition but did not reach the pole himself.

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.
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.
