Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert E Peary

Tonight, we'll read about igloos and other polar quarters, from the book Secrets of Polar Travel written by Robert E. Peary and published in 1917. Peary, a famed American Arctic explorer, led multiple expeditions to the far north and claimed to be the first person to reach the geographic North Pole. His writing blends technical insight with firsthand accounts of survival in extreme cold, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity required to build shelter in some of Earth's harshest climates. Although igloos, or snow shelters, are often associated with all Inuit, they were traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arctic and a part of Greenland. Other Inuit groups constructed more permanent dwellings from driftwood, whalebone, and hides, using snow as insulation rather than structural material. Snow works as an insulator because of the tiny air pockets trapped within it—an important fact when outside temperatures plunge to −45 °C (−49 °F), while inside a well-constructed igloo, body heat alone can raise the temperature to a surprisingly livable 16 °C (61 °F).

Polarpioneren Eivind AstrupChristianiamannen Eivind Astrup deltok i to ekspedisjoner til Grønland, ledet av amerikaneren Robert E. Peary. Eivind Astrup var superkjendis i sin tid, men er i dag lite kjent. I den første av de to ekspedisjonene med Peary kartla de Grønlands nord- og østlige deler, ikke minst takket være Astrups innsats. Han var den første som kombinerte bruk av ski med hundesleder, en kombinasjon som med hell også ble brukt av Roald Amundsen noen år senere da Sydpolen ble beseiret.Kartla GrønlandDen andre ekspedisjonen til Grønland ble langt på vei ødelagt av bedervet pemmikan, og både Astrup og flere andre av deltagerne ble syke. Likevel gjennomførte Eivind Astrup og vennen Kolotengva en ekspedisjon for å kartlegge nordsiden av Melville Bay – det eneste av vitenskapelig verdi fra ekspedisjonen. Eivind Astrup har åpenbart følt en nær tilhørighet til de grønlandske inuittene, og han både omtalte og skrev om dem med stor respekt. Han samlet også inn et stort etnografisk materiale for å dokumentere deres levevis og kultur.LandesorgDet var i mange år stor usikkerhet rundt dødsfallet til Eivind Astrup. Han reiste til Folldal julen 1895, og selv om han ble funnet død første en måned senere, er det antatt at han skjøt seg selv med en pistol tredje juledag på Hjerkinn. Det vakte landesorg da Astrups død ble kjent, og flere tusen mennesker fulgte kista til Vår frelsers gravlund i Oslo.Podkasten Villmarksliv – Påskespesial 2024I påsken 2024 kan du høre følgende episoder fra Podkasten Villmarksliv:28. mars 2024: Hans Børli29. mars 2024: Jens Munk30. mars 2024: Eivind Astrup31. mars 2024: Tryggve GranLytt gjerne til episoden seriene Norske eventyrere og eventyrlige historier fra påsken 2022 og påsken 2023.Hør også: Hjalmar Dale - læremesteren til Helge IngstadBli gjerne med i vår nye Facebook-gruppe for Podkasten Villmarksliv.Støtt Podkasten Villmarksliv ved å abonner på Villmarksliv, Jakt eller Alt om fiske.

When you learned about the American explorers who claimed to discover the North Pole, the answer seems to be, "Yes." In fact, the fabled drama of Robert E. Peary and Frederick Cook was an early example of how powerful newspapers - in this case The New York Times and New York Herald - spread fake news (although critics still debate whether the newspaper owners knew it was fake or didn't bother to corroborate the explorers' stories). Journalist Darrell Hartman tells us life and death tales from his recent book, Battle of Ink and Ice, that shed light on the perils of vanity and competition for fame and profit.

After working together for 22 years, Matthew Henson and Robert E. Peary located the North Pole in April, 1909. History, however,  would record only Peary's name as having made the discovery. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert E. Peary expected glowing accolades and worldwide fame for being first at the North Pole. But a New York physician named Frederick Cook said he had been first. Peary sensed his glory being snatched from his grasp—and mounted a relentless campaign in the press to prove his claim. And Henson? He supported his longtime expedition leader—though Peary didn’t return the favor. He had no more use for his loyal assistant after they returned from the Arctic for the last time. In this episode, we unravel Peary’s and Cook’s controversial claims and recognize Henson as one of history’s most important and innovative polar explorers.

For Black History Month, seniors Maddie Moats, Caroline Wilburn and junior Christi Norris discuss important contributions of African Americans throughout history in this episode of "History's Forgotten." This podcast highlights Matthew Henson, an explorer who was a vital part of the team that made the first journey to the North Pole. Henson spent most of his life not being appreciated for his contributions to the historical expedition, but after decades of being forgotten his accomplishment was honored by the U.S. Congress and the Explorers Club in New York City. Henson faced discrimination his entire life but never let bias and hate keep him from changing the world. Topics Covered: Matthew Henson Robert E.

Matthew Henson, The Great African American Explorer and his contributions...Why is Matthew Henson so important? Matthew Henson was an African American explorer best known as the co-discoverer of the North Pole with Robert Edwin Peary in 1909.“The lure of the arctic is tugging at my heart. To me the trail is calling! The old trail, the trail that is always new.” ~Matthew HensonMatthew Alexander Henson, (born August 8, 1866, Charles county, Maryland, U.S.—died March 9, 1955, New York, N.Y.), African American explorer who accompanied Robert E. Peary on most of his expeditions, including that to the North Pole in 1909. Orphaned as a youth, Henson went to sea at the age of 12 as a cabin boy on the sailing ship Katie Hines. Later, while working in a store in Washington, D.C., he met Peary, who hired him in 1887 as a valet for his next expedition to Nicaragua (1888). Peary, impressed with Henson’s ability and resourcefulness, employed him as an attendant on his seven subsequent expeditions to the Arctic (1891–92; 1893–95; 1896; 1897; 1898–1902; 1905–06; 1908–09). In 1909 Peary and Henson, accompanied by four Inuit, became the first men to reach the North Pole, the rest of the crew having turned back earlier. Henson’s account of the journey, A Negro Explorer at the North Pole, appeared in 1912. The following year, by order of Pres. William Howard Taft, Henson was appointed a clerk in the U.S. Customs House in New York City, a post he held until his retirement in 1936. Henson received the Congressional medal awarded all members of the Peary expedition (1944).  Matthew Alexander Henson was born on August 8, 1866, in Charles County, Maryland. The son of two freeborn black sharecroppers, Henson lost his mother at an early age. When Henson was 4 years old, his father moved the family to Washington, D.C., in search of work opportunities. His father died there a few years later, leaving Henson and his siblings in the care of other family members.  At the age of 11, Henson left home to find his own way. After working briefly in a restaurant, he walked all the way to Baltimore, Maryland, and found work as a cabin boy on the ship Katie Hines. Its skipper, Captain Childs, took Henson under his wing and saw to his education, which included instruction in the finer points of seamanship. During his time aboard the Katie Hines, he also saw much of the world, traveling to Asia, Africa and Europe. In 1884 Captain Childs died, and Henson eventually made his way back to Washington, D.C., where he found work as a clerk in a hat shop. It was there that, in 1887, he met Robert Edwin Peary, an explorer and officer in the U.S. Navy Corps of Civil Engineers. Impressed by Henson's seafaring credentials, Peary hired him as his valet for an upcoming expedition to Nicaragua.  Summary

The Shilo Inn in Salt Lake City has been through a series of name changes. It started as the International Dunes Hotel, then became the Shilo Inn and is today a part of the Holiday Inn Express chain. From the outside, the building appears to be a non-distinct hotel, but it carries the heavy burden of a horrible family tragedy. And that tragedy seems to have led to hauntings. Kaz Linza created the Cemetery Society on Facebook, which is a page dedicated to cemeteries, haunted history, conspiracy theories, serial killers and Halloween. He joins us to share the story behind the hauntings at Shilo Inn and experiences that people claim to have had there. Moment in Oddity was suggested by listener Bob Sherfield and features Gobekli Tepe pillar depicts comet strike and This Month in History features the birth of Explorer Robert E. Peary.
