Retired USNavy commander Robert E. Peary's status as first man to have set foot on the North Pole in April 1908 is questioned. Modern research discredits, without conclusively disproving, his claim on account of suspicious failures to secure prove and manipulations. And of his disloyal attempts to discredit his compatriot rival, Frederick Cook, who possibly was there first. Tom Avery's British polar expedition however proved Peary's alleged route and speed are and were possible.
