The first person widely believed to have officially reached the North Pole is Robert Peary, who claimed to have done so on April 6, 1909. However, his achievement has been subject to controversy and skepticism regarding the accuracy of his navigation and measurements. Some later explorers and historians have raised doubts about whether he actually reached the pole. Nevertheless, Peary's claim remains the most recognized in popular history.
