Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
The White March- The Lonely March
The cruel landscape of the chilling Arctic
"I wonder if any of my readers have experienced the sensation of tramping steadily for days and weeks apparently towards nothing?... Our only oases were in the skies; for now and then we could dimly see the sun shining through momentary rifts in the mist, and far off along the south and southwest horizon, we could discern just a line of exquisite pale greenish-blue sky. The only consoling thought when we pitched camp on the first march after the storm, was that we were twenty miles nearer home.” - Robert E. Peary in Northward over the “Great Ice”, published in 1898
"Ice pack, Etah" by Rutherford Platt, August 10, 1947, Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum Collections
