Famed arctic explorer Admiral Robert Edwin Peary poses for the camera, U.S.A., 1920

Famed explorer Admiral Robert Edwin Peary is seen standing in front of the camera. These would be the last images before his passing, U.S.A., 1920. Robert Edwin Peary Sr. was an American explorer and officer in the United States Navy who made several expeditions to the Arctic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was long credited as being the discoverer of the geographic North Pole in April 1909, having led the first expedition to have claimed this achievement, although it is now considered unlikely that he actually reached the Pole.
