Seegloo

Seegloo was an Eskimo that accompanied Robert Peary on his final quest for the North Pole. Polar historians believe that Peary honestly thought he had reached the pole on April 6, 1909. However a 1996 analysis of a newly-discovered copy of Peary's record indicates that the party must have been in fact 20 miles (32km) short of the Pole.
