他們的船因為沒辦法在冰上行駛,而導致行程的失敗。他們在1908年再度嘗試,並派出了24個隊員與133隻狗。根據他們的計算,這一次他們終於在190946日到達北極。但是科學家後來在1989年發現,培利和韓森離北極還有一小段距離,但是他們已經證明到極地區域探險是可行的,並且也為後來的探險家開啟了一條探險之路。你是否曾做過什麼事,讓下一個人在做同一件事時能比較容易的進行嗎?

The ship they were traveling on failed to make it through the ice. They tried again in 1908, setting out with 24 companions and 133 dogs. This time, according to their calculations, they made it to the North Pole on April 6, 1909. But scientists discovered in 1989 that Peary and Henson were actually just short of the Pole. Still, Peary and Henson showed that exploration was possible in Arctic regions and paved the way for future explorers. Have you ever done something that made it easier for the next person to do the same thing?
