Explanation

Robert Peary claimed to be the first to reach the North Pole in 1909, though this claim has been disputed. Frederick Cook also claimed to have reached it in 1908. Modern historians question both claims. Richard Weber, Ann Bancroft, and Ward Hunt are polar explorers but not associated with the first North Pole claim.
