EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of camaraderie between two of the most renowned explorers of the early 20th century: Robert E. Peary and Ernest Shackleton. Taken on March 29, 1910, at the Hotel Astor in New York City, the two men were brought together at a reception hosted by the prestigious Explorers Club. Robert Edwin Peary (1856-1920), an American naval officer and polar explorer, is famously known for his claim of reaching the North Pole on April 6, 1909. Peary's achievement, however, remains a subject of debate due to conflicting evidence. Regardless, his determination and relentless pursuit of polar exploration made him a celebrated figure. Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922), a British explorer, is best known for his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917), during which he attempted to make the first crossing of Antarctica from sea to sea. Although he did not achieve his goal, Shackleton's leadership and survival skills during the subsequent rescue mission of his crew are considered among the greatest feats in exploration history. The photograph shows Peary on the left, dressed in a formal suit, and Shackleton on the right, also in a suit, with both men exchanging warm greetings. The meeting of these two great explorers at the Explorers Club reception in New York City is an important moment in the history of polar exploration, symbolizing the shared spirit of adventure and camaraderie among explorers from different nations. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of polar exploration or the lives of these two remarkable men. The image not only captures the essence of their personalities but also highlights the significance of the Explorers Club in bringing together individuals driven by the spirit of discovery and exploration.
