There is another slant to this question to which I'm prompted by the memory
of (another ) Nat. Geographic article of many years ago. It included a
picture of the US base at the South Pole with a set of markers pushed into
the snow which traced the actual position of the pole over a period.
Hi
Just few words more. I do not think we have any material to prove or
disprove Peary's reaching the North Pole. There are only few institutions
that could do the investigation professionally and possibly fairly and we
know that this is very hard. This is unbelievable but fairness sometimes may

It is interesting to find the various replies concerning the doubt about
Peary actually reaching the pole, which I seem to have started. It is
especially interesting since I was about to eat a huge slice of humble pie
and apologise
