🎙️ The Art Of Studying Markets

On this day in 1909, Robert Peary became the first adventurer to reach the North Pole. Or did he?

Peary’s journey is widely contested, but the former U.S. Navy engineer claimed to have reached the North Pole alongside Matthew Henson and a team of Inuit men 🥾

Peary’s claim was largely accepted until 1989, when a British explorer concluded he hadn’t reached the pole but was close, likely within 60 miles.
