Who is the explorer? Their story
96 years ago, American explorer robert Peary claimed that he set off from Cape Columbia and traveled 765 kilometers in 37 days to reach the North Pole. However, in the following nearly 100 years, many people questioned this: can human beings cross many difficulties and reach the Arctic with bad climate in such a short time? A century later, a five-person expedition from England decided to prove what happened in the last century through personal practice.

The expedition named "Buckley's Ultimate Arctic Expedition" was led by Tom Avery. Their goal is to confirm Perry's 37-day journey to the North Pole through similar routes and equipment.

Avery's five-member expedition decided to set off on the morning of the 20th local time. They will use Eskimo sled dogs and custom-made wooden sleds, because they should try to be similar to Piri's craft and experience.

A century ago, the British government set aside a sum of money to reward the first explorer who reached the North Pole. 1902, the American explorer Piri began to head for the polar regions, but failed. 1 909 March1day, Piri organized the Arctic expedition again. Piri and his party set out from Cape Columbia, took five sledges, led by 40 dogs, and reached the North Pole. On April 6 of that year, they arrived 8 kilometers away from the North Pole. After determining the location, they went to the North Pole with great interest and planted the American flag there. The flag horn reads: "1April 6, 909, arrived at 90 degrees north latitude, Piri."

However, for nearly a century, the time to reach the North Pole in 37 days has been questioned by all parties. 1920 When Piri died, his records were not confirmed and recognized. In the Arctic exploration nearly a century later, the shortest time to reach the North Pole is currently recognized as 43 days set by the Canadian expedition in 2000.
