Original black/brown cloth, gilt vignette of man, sled and dogs to front cover. The account of the second unsuccessful attempt by Peary, in 1906, to reach the North Pole. He was forced to turn back 175 miles from his destination. He passed Ellesmere Land to Cape Sheridan and the Arctic Basin, returning along the coast of Greenland. In this, his second to last expedition he claimed to have reached 87º06', the farthest north any had yet been. Arctic Biblio,13226. Ricks p. 169. Peary made several expeditions attempting to reach the North Pole. In this, his 1906 expedition, he reached latitude 87degrees 06minutes N, about 175 miles from the Pole, the closest to the Pole yet achieved. While ostensibly failures, these expeditions allowed him to test his equipment, dogs and men, honing his skills for what he later (1909) reported to be a successful achievement of the Pole. These 1906 journeys passed Ellesmere Land to Cape Sheridan and the Arctic Basin. He returned to his ship by sledge along the Northern Coast of Greenland. There is appended a report of Peary's explorations in 1898-1902. Whether Peary himself ever reached the North Pole is a subject of some controversy today.
