Roosevelt during the challenging year of 1905-1906, aiming for the North Pole. Peary, as the leader, highlights the significant challenges and triumphs faced by his team as they navigate the treacherous polar terrain and weather, emphasizing themes of exploration, courage, and determination. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the adventure, detailing the preparation and personnel of the expedition as they depart from New York.
