Both the reading passage and lecture discuss about authenticity of the claim of Robert E. Peary that he had reached North Pole in his expedition. The author provides three arguments supporting the truthfulness of the claim. However, the professor casts doubt on these arguments and refutes them all providing several counter counter arguments.
First of all, according to the passage, National Geographic Society conducted an investigation and reported supporting Peary's claim. By contrast, the professor contends that that investigation was conducted by Peary's friends and reported within a very short time without careful consideration of all evidences. Thus, the professor asserts that the declaration is biased and fails to prove Peary's claim.
Secondly. the author depicts that another recent expedition which completed similar expedition in less than 37 days challenges skeptics, who argue that it is impossible that Peary made that tour in 37 days. Nevertheless, the lecturer points to the fact that recent explorer did not bring enough food with him which made his dogsleds lighter. Also, weather was much favorable during recent expedition. Thus, the lecturer refutes this evidence mentioning that these two case are not similar.
Finally, the author brings up the idea of calculating Sun's position from photographs taken by Peary, which proves that Sun's position confirmed that it was taken at North Pole. On the other hand, the professor finds this claim dubious mentioning that photography technique was not advanced at that time and most of those photos are blurred and faded over time. Also, those photos are so fuzzy and unfocused that can not establish Sun's position with that much accuracy.
