TPO 28
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 Surf s position in the sun. The Surf s position established from the photographs corresponds exactly to the Surf 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.
The reading claims that some science expressed doubt on peary reaching to the north pole. The author elaborates his viewpoints by providing three main reasons. Nevertheless, the professor believes that these concepts are not solid evidence and are not convincing; so refutes each of the author's stand-point.
First, the reading asserts that National Geographical Society investigate considerably on the trustworhty of this record; hence, assumed and declared that he had indeed reached the north pole. However, the professor refutes this idea by stating that it's not true since it have complete objection. In additional, she mentioned abou Pear's friends as the foundation of the trip as important reason that investigator could get wrong information by his friends.
Furthermore, the article posits that recent expedition support of peary's claim since tom Avery made the same trek in less than 37 days ann shows that it can be correct. On the other hand, the lecturer bings up the fact that tom's trek is actually differ from Pear's since he had less food and weight which made it possible to reached in less than 37 days. also she states that favorable condition of the wethear as another factor of the perfect record and illustrates that they are diffrenet at all.
Finally, the article avers from photographs which taken in the pole as another support because it's possible to establish position of Pear;s by estimating and measuring his shadow on the picture. Contrary, the lecturer casts doubt on this concept by stating that mentioned technology require percise shadow in the picture but it was about 100 years ago and photo wasn't percise and was fussy and unfocosed;hence, it not proves anythings. she also states that picture is blure and doesn't have a great accuracy to percise measuring of the shadow.
