First person who reach north pole and south pole?
South Pole – the Norwegian Roald Amundsen on Dec. 14, 1911. The North Pole – difficult to say. Most of the early claims are disputed. Frederick Cook probably faked it (he faked a climb up Denali as well). Robert Peary, while credited with being first, may have also faked it. Byrd claimed to have flown to the pole on May 9, 1926, but he may have also faked his records. The first undisputed sighting of the pole (they didn’t land) was by Lincoln Ellsworth and Roald Amundsen on May 12, 1926 – possibly making Amundsen the first man to visit both poles. The first undisputed person to actually set foot at the pole is well…disputed. It has alternatively claimed to have been Russians landing a plane in 1948, US Air Force personnel landing in a plane in 1952, US Navy personnel in a nuclear submarine in 1958, Ralph Plaisted by snowmobile in 1968, and Wally Herbert via dog team in 1969.
