Robert Peary's Claim To Reaching The North Pole

In "Mount Robson Mystery" by Lynn Tanod, some people believe Kain is the first person to reach Mount Robson, I; however, believe George Kinney is the first person to reach Mount Robson because he is determined, thwarted, and partnered with Phillips. He made twelve attempts to succeed to reach Mount Robson, and it was difficult for him. They were forced to oppose successfully threw snow, wind, and the sheer size of the mountain. Kinney and Phillips were both partners, and claims to have conquered the mountain. Four years later Phillips then said “we haven’t reached on top of Mount Robson” which seems strange. Kain and Phillips might’ve partnered together to claim that they we’re first to reach Mount Robson.

Many people in this world don’t have the correct knowledge of what has happened in the past. There has been a lot of misconceptions that people have about North America. A common misconception that has spread throughout the world is that Christopher Columbus discovered America. That statement is more than 100% false. Christopher Columbus never set a foot in North America. He landed in the Caribbean islands and and explored the Central and South American coasts.

The second version comes from “Saga of the Greenlanders.” This version says the when Leif made it back to Greenland, a trader from Icelandic named Bjarni Herjolfsson told Erikson about North America when he overshot Greenland and saw the new land. If this version is true, that would mean that Bjarni would be the one that actually discovered North America, but because it was stated that he never stepped foot on the land, he actually didn’t. But both “Saga of Erik the Red” and “Saga of the Greenlanders” end in the same way, Leif Erikson finding North
