Peary’s Prediction on Quest for the Pole
The article presents Robert E. Peary’s own account of what he expected to achieve on his polar expedition. It outlines his anticipated milestones and the aims guiding his journey toward the North Pole.
Northern Pole explained as center of globe and world’s last prize
The North Pole is the precise center of the northern hemisphere and the axis intersection point where all longitudes meet.

The magnetic pole lies far south of it, while compass variation is still accurate there.
