Peary Denies Plan for South Pole Expedition Soon
Commander Robert H Peary denies plans for a new south pole expedition within five years. He supports Arctic research but says using Scott's route would be improper due to Scott's ongoing south pole work. Peary notes his field work in Arctic and Antarctic regions is complete, but would aid future efforts if beneficial. Congress and the Navy may honor his service with promotions or medals, while official possession of polar territory remains unconfirmed.
