The reading and the lecture are both about the famous explorer Robert E. Peary, according to the records, he has reached the north pole in 37 days in 1909. The author of the reading believes that there are no doubts about that R.E.Perry really reached the north pole in such a short time, whereas the lecturer casts doubt on the claim made in the article. She thinks that there is no convincing evidence.
First of all, the author points out that a national geographic's committee has examined the R.E. Perry's records and equipment. It is mentioned that both records and equipment were consistent and persuasive. This point is challenged by the lecturer who says that the committee was not reliable because it was composed of people who were very closely related to the explorer. Furthermore, she argues that the committee worked on this issue only for two days, and according to her, the time was not enough to have an accurate assessment of the case.
Secondly, the author contends that a similar trip has been done by another explorer later in time. The article notes that this is the proof that this journey is possible and even the skeptical have to agree with it. The lecturer rebuts this argument explaining that the two trips cannot be compared, in fact, the weight carried on the dogsled, and the weather conditions were very different. She elaborates on this mentioning that in the case of R.E. Perry no food was given from an airplane along the way and the weather conditions were worse.
Finally, the author states that there is a photo which shows R.E. Perry at the north pole on that day. The article establishes that the authenticity of it is proven by the typical kind of shadow that the sun produces only when you are at the poles in that specific period. She puts forth the idea that this proof is also no reliable, because it is a very old photo taken with a primitive camera, and it is fuzzy, unfocused and the shadow is blurred, therefore it cannot be used as a proof.
