“We had looked out upon the Arctic Ocean from land never seen before by the eyes of man. We had seen the islands rising in hills and mountains beyond the channel that marks the northern edge of the mainland. We had done all we could, and were now content to set our face homeward.” - Robert E. Peary in Northward over the “Great Ice”, published in 1898
