Robert E. Peary was a well-known adventurer and arctic explorer who in 1909 set out to reach the North Pole. When he returned from the expedition, he claimed to have reached the pole on April 7, 1909. This report made him into an international celebrity. Though some historians have expressed doubts that Peary did, in fact, reach the North Pole, three arguments provide strong support for the truth of Peary’s claim.
First, the National Geographic Society put together a committee that was instructed to conduct a thorough investigation of Peary’s records and equipment. At the end of the investigation, the committee concluded that Peary’s accounts were consistent and persuasive and declared that he had indeed reached the North Pole.
Second, a recent expedition provides support for Peary’s claim that he reached the North Pole in only 37 days after setting out from Ellesmere Island off the coast of Greenland. Skeptics used to argue that Peary could not have traveled that fast. Since even modern snowmobiles take longer to cover the same distance. However, a British explorer named Tom Avery recently made the same trek in less than 37 days. In fact, Avery used the same kind of dogsled and the same number and breed of dogs as Peary had. Thus, Peary’s claims are not impossible, and he very well might have been telling the truth.
Third, there are photographs taken by Peary that support his claim to have reached the North Pole. Measuring the shadows in Peary's photographs makes it possible to calculate the Sun's position in the north pole. The Sun's position established from the photographs corresponds exactly to the Sun's position as it should have been at the North Pole on that day. This provides strong evidence that Peary reached the North Pole and took the photographs there.
In the lecture, the professor states how that there is no solid evdiance support that the well-known adventurer Robert Peary reached the pole north in 1909. However, this casts doubt on the reading which provides three evdiance of support to peary’s claim.
To begin with, the speaker claims that the commmittes investigation is not objective. In fact, the committee member were pear’s friends which funded his trip. Moreover, peary himself admitted that the investagtion was not through they only did it for two days. On the other hand, the text claims that the investigation was coundect in a proper way.
In addition, the professor asserts that Tom Avery simulation can not support Peary’s claim. Indeed, Avery’s slide was lighter than peary because Avery’s food was dropped by airplane. Moreover, Pear’s travelled in different conditions, and on the other hand Avery’s travelled in much suitable condition. This contradicts the reading which states that Tom’s was able to reach the north in 37 day which supports Peary’s claim.
Finally, the speaker asserts that the picture was taking by peary when he reached the North Pole cannot be a reliable evidence. In fact, the photo became with time faded, unfocused, and fuzzy. Hence, it’s impossible to calculate the sun’s position because the photo is not precise. This opposes the reading which states that the photo gives a strong support to Peary’s claim.
