Polar Exploration

Roald Amundsen was the first man to reach the South Pole by foot, but he only flew over the North Pole. In the strictest meaning of attaining a Pole, this does not really count.

We have to come a long way forward to find someone who reached both Poles by foot, to the Transglobe Expedition of 1979/82, when Ranulph Fiennes and Charlie Burton became the first persons to achieve both poles by foot. They reached the South Pole on December 17th 1980, and the North Pole on April 11th 1982.

Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

Matthew Henson was the first African-American to explore the Arctic, and made 6 trips there with other explorers such as Robert Peary. On these journeys he and his fellow explorers had to endure bitter cold, frostbite, harsh storms, and not enough food to eat.

Matthew Henson and Robert Peary claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909. The journey took them about 9 months in total, starting in August 1908. Their claim to have reached the exact geographic North Pole has been contested by some historians and explorers.

Matthew Henson was born in Maryland in 1865 and was an African American explorer who accompanied Robert Peary on several expeditions, including the one to the North Pole in 1909. Henson's contributions to the success of the expedition were often overlooked due to racial discrimination.

Frederick Cook is generally accepted as the second man to reach the North Pole, after Robert Peary.

However, controversy remains even today as to whether either man actually reached the North pole.

Matthew Henson was born on August 8, 1866 in Maryland, USA. He experienced a challenging childhood marked by poverty and the loss of his mother at an early age. Despite these difficulties, he developed a love for the outdoors and eventually became an accomplished explorer.

Robert Edwin Peary, the famous American explorer, passed away on February 20, 1920. His cause of death is not listed in his bio.

May 12, 1931, Wegener's body was found in Greenland, halfway between Eismitte and West camp. Wegener's suspected cause of death was heart failiure. It is estimated that the 23-year-old's body now lies buried under more than 100 meters (330 ft) of accumulated ice and snow.

Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) was a British explorer who commanded three expeditions to the Antarctic (1907-09, 1914-17, 1921-22), during which the South Magnetic Pole was located in 1909. His primary objective was to discover the South Pole, but was defeated by his use of ponies instead of huskies and heavy storms. The 1907-09 expedition got to within 178 km of the South Pole.

Early explorers of Antarctica such as James Cook, James Clark Ross, and Carsten Borchgrevink were searching for new lands, scientific discoveries, and potential resources like minerals and wildlife. They were also interested in mapping the uncharted territory and understanding the geography and climate of the continent.

Ernest Shackleton lived in Kilkea, County Kildare, Ireland, not in England. He was born in County Kildare in 1874.

Yes, the Bering Sea was named after the Danish explorer Vitus Bering, who explored the area in the 18th century while serving as an officer in the Russian navy. He is known for his expeditions that contributed to the mapping of the region.

No, the French did not find the Northwest Passage through the establishment of colonies. The search for the Northwest Passage was primarily conducted by European explorers seeking a direct sea route to Asia through the Arctic region. French explorers did establish colonies in North America but did not find the Northwest Passage.

Shackleton was from Ireland.

The Northwest Passage was a water route through the Arctic connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Treaty of 1818 between the US and Britain allowed for joint occupancy of the Oregon Country, delaying resolution to territorial disputes between the two nations. Other treaties that paved the way for westward expansion include the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War and ceded a large portion of Mexican territory to the US, and the Louisiana Purchase treaty in 1803, which doubled the size of the US.

John Franklin explored the Canadian Arctic in the early 19th century in search of the Northwest Passage. He led several expeditions to map the northern coastline of North America, but tragically, his final expedition in 1845 ended in disaster with the loss of all members, leading to ongoing search efforts to locate the ships and remains.

Despite not finding the Northwest Passage, Samuel de Champlain established the French colony of Quebec in Canada, which led to the expansion of French influence in North America. Henry Hudson's explorations laid the foundation for Dutch colonization in what is now New York, helping to establish the Dutch West India Company's presence in the region.
