The Grave of Robert E Peary
One of the notables buried at Arlington National
Cemetery is Robert E. Peary (1856-1920), an American explorer who claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 6,
1909. Peary's claim was widely credited for most of the 20th century. The first undisputed explorers to reach the North Pole were documented in
1969. Some historians believe that Peary
was guilty of deliberately exaggerating his accomplishments.
