(1856-1920) — американский полярный путешественник, адмирал (1911). В 1892 и 1895 годах пересек Гренландию. 6 апреля 1909 года на собачьих упряжках достиг района Северного полюса. Пять раз шел Роберт Пири к вершине планеты и пять раз вынужден был поворачивать обратно. То незамерзающая открытая вода, то непроходимые торосы останавливали его.
