Dr. Frederick A. Cook claimed to have made the discovery, along with 2 Eskimo companions, traveling by dogsled, on April 21, 1908.
Robert E. Peary, along with 5 companions, claimed that his party reached the North Pole on April 6-7, 1909. Peary called Cook's discovery a hoax and Peary held the distinction of Discoverer until more recent questions arised. Since it is now a known fact that the North Pole is an imaginary point in the Arctic Ocean, and the entire area is comprised of floating ice packs, known as floes, that are constantly in motion, there is no proper means to mark a permanent location, and the actual geographic point for the North Pole would lie over 14,000 feet down, on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.
