vo[-,. )ofl/ l'lo. 1 TTIE ARCTIC CIRCUIARgeography pupils, it is no fault of thre textbooks who have generally heededPeary' s cx^in advice : that his "nane (must) be kncn^m frcrn one end of tlre worl-dto the other".Ttre other candidate was tlre classic antj--establishmentariarr, the lone wolf ,who was also a loner and a romantic, and to many a naj-ve adventurer,Frederick Albert Cook. Cook has been , to ilrany, a psychological riddlewithin a greater geographical enigrna, a Dreyfus-Iike figr:re of tragicproportions who defies footnote consigrrnent as a fipnurrental hoacer. Indeed,there is enough evidence to conclude that Cook may well have been ilre victjmof a pre-lVorld War I period "Icegate " , and to give currenq/ to a selfjudgnrentof his c'\,vn personal- destmction as the once-celebrated Disc.overer ofttre lrlorthr Pole:"Few men in all historry", declared Cook, "have been rnade thre subject of suchvicious attacks , of sucLr malevolent assailing of character, of such a seriesof perjr:red and forged charges, as I--and few nen, I feel sure, have everbeen made to suffer so bitterly and so inexpressively as f because of theassertion of my achievenent. "I,''/hrile self -senring, the assessnent stands today as closer to ttre truth thranmany of the contenrporary denunciations and subseclrent volurres which repeateda rote ondsnnation vtrich all but rsrurved the one-tjme Brooklyn physicianas a serious crcntender for honours in Anerica's splendid Race for the Pole,a popular national diversion lhid-r occupied the nostalgic first decade ofthe ng/v centutlz.Polar priority aside, there should be another prerequisite in any discussionof the Cook and Pearry episocre. For despite any and all assertions to tlrecontrarlz, ttrere can be no "ne\,{ anrd unassailable evidencd' brought fonvardsixty- seven years after ttre Great Controversy began which could in any way"prove conclusively" ilrat one or other of the rival disocverers did reach thePoIe. Thre noving pack ice at the top of our globe has told us many secretswith the advent of aviation and oceanographic technolx1y, but it can neverretrnrt ttre disputed ch:ronology of the nonth of April in ttre years l9O8 and1909 where all longitude neets at Latitude 90 degrees.Ttre tragic Scott could write in his diaqg on first seeirrg the tents and threflag of the }lcr:vsegian Ann:ndsen. Thre frozen rock of the Soutfi Pole affordedthrat measure of certainty to thre drama of trirrryh and defeat. <strong>The</strong> mythicalgroal at thre top of the world--thre "Big Nail " of thre Smith Sound Eskjrnos(vvtry else, they properly reasoned-*rculd ttre white man e4)end so muchr inlives and treasure for so many years if not for a fantastic deposit of iron--ttre source of all wealth--ernerrling frcm the treacherous pack ice so nlany daysfrom safe land-ice?) offered no similar crcnvenient re1rcsitory of ttre reords ofany pioneer arctic explorer. <strong>The</strong> desolate and solita4z world of ice at thetop sesned to nxcck the hrman failure which was to result frcm its purportedocnquest.
