One day's march from their destination, members of Admiral Robert Peary's Arctic expedition tote flags across the polar ice. In the early morning hours of April 6, 1909, a triumphant Peary and his team—now just two sleds and five companions—reached what they believed was the North Pole. Photograph by Admiral Robert E. Peary
