Explanation

Robert E. Peary claimed to be the first to reach the North Pole on April 6, 1909, along with Matthew Henson and four Inuit guides. However, this claim has been disputed, with some evidence suggesting Frederick Cook may have reached it a year earlier, or that Peary didn't actually reach the exact pole. Despite controversy, Peary is widely credited in popular history.
