. 'Probably few outsiders realize the well-nigh incredible toil and hardship entailed in such an achievement as Peary's; and fewer still understand how many years of careful training and preparation there must be before the feat can be even attempted with any chance of success. A "dash for the pole" can be successful only if there have been many preliminary years of painstaking, patient toil. Great physical hardihood and endurance, an iron will and unflinching courage, the power of command, the thirst for adventure, and a keen and far-sighted intelligence-all these must go to the make-up of the successful Arctic explorer; and these, and more than these, have gone to the make-up of the chief of successful Arctic explorers, the man who succeeded where hitherto even the best and the bravest had failed.' - From the Introduction by Theodore Roosevelt.

Peary made his reputation as an explorer during what is known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, a period of discovery characterised by journeys of geographical and scientific exploration in a largely unknown continent, without any of the benefits of modern travel methods or radio communication.

This book is part of the Classics of Exploration Library . The books in the library have been out of print for decades, and therefore not accessible to the public. Now brought back into print after many decades, the material have been copied in facsimile from the original editions, with each title meticulously hand curated.

The book is as close as possible to the original work.
