In 1989, British Explorer Wally Herbert concluded from Peary’s documentation that Peary and Henson had probably stopped seven miles short of the North Pole in April 1909. It turns out that the next explorer to have surface traversed across the ice successfully to the North Pole, was a former insurance salesman with no previous polar exploration experience called Ralph Plaisted. He reached the pole with his three colleagues at 10:30am on April the 19th, 1968.
