The claims made by explorers Cook and Peary in reaching the North Pole
are both disputed and cannot be proven. Cook’s claim was immediately
dismissed but Peary’s claim has been debated for over a century with
modern analysis concluding that the claim is unlikely. Ironically, the
first confirmed visual sighting of the North Pole from the air was by
the South Pole conqueror Roald Amundsen.
