About the author
Robert E. (Robert Edwin) Peary
1856–1920
An American Arctic explorer and U.S. Navy officer, he became world-famous for his push toward the North Pole in 1909. His career mixed endurance, ambition, and controversy, which has kept his story alive long after the age of polar exploration.
