April, 2000 - Landry/Crowley
& NorthWind's huskies
Paul Landry and Paul Crowley traveled to the Pole in the same time it took Peary and Henson in 1909 (well,
4 days longer - but heck! Matt & Peary had 22 extra men helping
them!) This achievement makes people look silly who said, for
many years, that it was impossible. Impossible for people without
skill perhaps, but not for Henson & Peary, with their Eskimo
friends, using the greatest Arctic motive
machine known - the Husky. Bred to pull sledges and love
it! (note: we only have this animated German
shepherd, if you can animate a white husky for us that would be
great!)

Surprising photos
Two
photos that actually show the sun at the Pole are known to exist. Peary had
never published them as they were overexposed. From these we
can prove that Henson & Peary were at the North Pole. |

The Expedition Map
The illustration shows how the plan worked. The key to
success was:
• Start from the most northern point of land as soon as
possible in the late winter.
• Employ teams of men to make a trail over the ice, build
igloo camps, and deliver supplies.
• Allow Henson & Peary to follow the road the team worked
to construct, saving their strength. Then let them take the best
dogs and dash on ahead to the Pole. The plan worked! |

Photo analysis
A
Cold War spy technique, photogrammetric rectification, can
determine the latitude at which a photograph was taken. When applied
to Peary's photos it proves they were at the North Pole. |

Depth records
Henson & Peary measured the depth of the ocean along the way
to the Pole. When the Navy released their ocean floor map
it finally made sense of what had been recorded in 1909. Peary had been recording the
depth of a feature called the Lomonosov Ridge. His soundings pointed straight to the North Pole.
