"I will find a way, or make one." That was Peary's motto. And he needed it during his long years of exploration in the Arctic. First, Peary's goal was to cross the great Greenland ice cap; next, to be the first man to reach the North Pole. Peary found treacherous ice, bitter cold and cruel storms. He saw his sled dogs die, his supplies lost in the snow, his men turn back. He froze his feet and lost several of his toes. But Peary never gave up. His belief that the Eskimos had much to teach him proved invaluable. His boyhood skill with a rifle saved him from starvation. As a child, Peary had loved to map and measure, to find things out for himself. Now he mapped and measured his way north to fame. Erick Berry has written other books about the North, among them Garrard's LEIF THE LUCKY: DISCOVERER OF AMERICA. |

The Arctic, the far, frozen north, can be a very dangerous place for people to visit. The Arctic is almost always bitter cold, with temperatures that can go far below -50°F and be in total darkness for four months out of a year. Terrible storms sweep across the ice and snow, and great crevasses, perilous openings in the ice, can swallow the unlucky traveler. By the early 1900s, many expeditions had tried to reach the farthest point north, the North Pole, but all of them had failed. Many explorers had died. Tales spread that no one could reach the North Pole. They warned that the land was cursed. But in the early twentieth century, two men decided to brave the Arctic again. They were Americans Robert Peary and Matthew Henson. And they were determined to do what no one had ever done. They were going to reach the North Pole. |
