Peary recounts polar voyage to the North Pole
Commander Robert E. Peary narrates the Roosevelt expedition's arduous overwintering at Cape Sabine and Cape Columbia, the 1908 push beyond the eighty-ninth parallel, extensive ice navigation, and the dramatic ascent to the pole. He credits Bartlett Goodsell Marvin McMillan Borup Wardwell and the Eskimo team for a record Arctic crossing and notes Marvin’s death during the return.
