Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1906- March 21st, 1906: Fierce Wind
“During the night of the 21st at this camp the wind came on fresh from the west, blowing with distinct fierceness all night and day of the 22nd and causing pronounced changes in the ice. Our big floe cracked and rumbled frequently and the walls of our igloo were split but not so seriously as to be beyond repair. Wind shelters were constructed for the dogs and they were double rationed. ” - Robert E. Peary in Nearest the Pole, published in 1907
