Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1906- Greenland Mountain: Land Clouds
“On the next march after we emerged from the southern edge of the zone of shattered ice, we made out the distant snow-clad summits of the Greenland mountains, and this improved the spirits of my men. One or two of them had said while waiting north of the lead, that they could see land clouds from one of the high pinnacles close by the lead, but I could make out nothing, and the other Eskimos were not sure of it. There could be no mistake in the matter now, and from here on the going improved.” - Robert E. Peary in Nearest the Pole, published in 1907
