One of the hardest things the team had to do was get over the 20 to 50 foot high ice barriers. Source: www.matthewhenson.com.
1886-1909
The Peary Arctic Club, led by US Navy engineer Robert Peary, organizes 8 expeditions to the Arctic. In the early years, he crosses the Greenland ice cap, and in 1898-1902 makes his first unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole, losing a few toes to frostbite. Finally, in 1908-1909, Peary reports that he has reached the North Pole with his friend, Matthew Henson and four native people. However, there are still questions as to whether Peary did indeed reach the North Pole, or whether he exaggerated the distances he traveled.
