Regarding the reading passage, the expedition by Avery, a British explorer, who had the same speed proved this claim. On the other hand, the professor rejects this idea reasoning that the recent expedition is quite different from Peary's trip in many important ways. He further states in Avery's trip, the food transported by plane, while Peary transported all food by dogsled. Moreover, the weather conditions on the two trips were quite different. As a result, the speed of the two explorers could not be similar.
