During his eighth and last expedition in the Arctic, Robert Peary claimed that he led the first expedition that reached the North Pole the 6th April 1909. But his claim has long been subject to doubt and it was widely debated in contemporary newspapers. As soon as he went back, his account leads to polemics because Frederick Cook claimed also to be the first one to have reached the North Pole, but the 21th April 1908. Eventually Peary was recognized by Congress for reaching first the pole in 1911.
