POLAR PIONEER
Matthew Henson: Arctic Explorer
Robert Peary and Matthew Henson both wanted to be great explorers. When Peary needed someone to join him on his trip to the North Pole, he thought of Henson. They had once worked together in Central America. At the time, it was unusual for an African American to be a well-known explorer. Henson wanted to change that. So, though he knew the trip would be hard, he agreed to go.
First, they traveled by ship to Greenland. The members of Peary's team lived among the Inuit people there. The Inuit called Henson "Maripaluk—Matthew, the Kind One.” Henson learned their language. The Inuit taught him how to live outdoors on the ice, find food, build igloos, make snowshoes, and drive dogsleds through the snow and ice.
To the Top of the World
Between 1891 and 1906, the Peary-Henson team made seven attempts to get to the North Pole. Each time, they learned hard lessons about the dangers there. Sleds broke. Dogs died. Men got hurt. They got close to the North Pole, but they always had to go back.
In 1909, they decided to make one more attempt. Peary and Henson found themselves within 56 kilometers (35 miles) of the North Pole. Peary sent Henson ahead. Henson made a trail through the snow for Peary to follow. Peary followed 45 minutes later. "I think I am the first man to sit on top of the world,” Henson told Peary.
The team returned home as heroes. Both men's dreams had come true: They were the first explorers to reach the North Pole.
