The Cook Polar Expedition at the North Pole 1908
Photograph taken by Dr. Frederick A. Cook showing his igloo and Inuit companions, Ah-welsh and Etukishook, at the North Pole. A debate has long raged over whether it was Cook or Peary who first reached the North Pole, but it seems that Dr. Cook had a good claim to be first
