Peary's Arctic Quest Ends With Hard Return to Camp
Lieutenant Peary recounts his third Arctic season ending in a retreat to Anniversary Lodge after a grueling voyage from March to June. He faced loss of dogs and supplies, resorted to musk oxen meat and walrus for sustenance, and endured extreme cold, with only seventeen dogs remaining to push toward land. The Falcon relief carried companions back while Peary and Matthew Henson, aided by Eskimos, battled storms and miles of ice in a perilous return to Bowdoin Bay and plan for renewed voyages.
