Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1906- Point Moss: Brilliant Moonlight
A snow house camp
“Point Moss, some twenty miles west of Cape Hecla, was determined upon as our point of departure from the land. Two days were spent at Cape Hecla… On the 5th, the last light sledges got away for Point Moss, I bringing up the rear with Inueto… I arrived at Point Moss a little before midnight, after a good but fatiguing march. It was brilliant moonlight, and the twilight arc now swung nearly all the way north.”- Robert E. Peary in Nearest the Pole, published in 1907
