After losing eight toes to the Arctic cold and aging prematurely because so much time spent in the harsh Arctic climate, Peary’s dream was officially realized. Because his life goal had been attained, Peary was able to die in peace, which he did on February 20, 1920. His life was cut short due to health issues caused by the Arctic cold.

The irony is striking; we rely heavily on oceans, the iconic feature of our planet, yet more than ninety-five percent of the ocean depths remain unexplored.
