Who invented north pole?

The American explorer Frederick Albert Cook stated that he reached the North Pole in 1908, but his claim is not widely accepted. The conquest of the North Pole is traditionally credited to American Navy engineer Robert Edwin Peary, who claimed to have reached the Pole on April 6, 1909 but Peary's claim remains controversial. The first undisputed sighting of the Pole was on May 12, 1926 by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his American sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth. It is known North Pole fact, that the first man which crossed the Arctic Circle was the Greek geographer and explorer Pytheas of Massilia at around 320 BC. To answer this question, who discovered the North Pole and when, I'd say Pytheas.


Who was the first person to predict tides using a combination of tidal theory and astronomical observations?

Or to phrase the question differently, "Who discovered the correct explanation for the phases of the moon." I too would like to know. Did ancient astronomers know that the moon was reflecting the sun? Did they further discern that the phases were a result of seeing half-illuminated sphere from a different angle. This drawing by Galileo suggests that he had it figured out, but was he the first: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Galileo_moon_phases.jpg

What does Prettanike mean?

"Prettanike" is the name given to the British Isles by the Greek Explorer Pytheas. He named it so because he came across a tribe of "painted" people, or "Prettani," so Prettanike means, roughly, land of the painted people. This is the origin or the word "Brittania" and, therefore, Britain. In short, Prettanike refers to Great Britain.
