Yet, Wellman Has Been Cast As A SelfPromoting Egomaniac Known Mostly For His Catastrophic Failures. Instead He Was A Courageous Innovator Who Pushed The Boundaries Of Polar Exploration And Paved The Way For The Ultimate Conquest Of The North PoleWhich Would Be Achieved Not By Dogsled Or Airplane, But By Airship.In 190809, American Explorers Dr. Frederick Cook And Robert Peary, In Separate Expeditions, Both Claimed TheyD Reached The North Pole First, But Their Claims Were Seriously Questioned.
