The article is about the adventurer and arctic explorer Robert E.Peary, which the passage states that he went to visit the North Pole and provides three reasons for support. However, the lecturer says that the information provided in the reading is not convincing and refutes each of the author's points.
First, the article claims that the National Geographic Society assigned a committee to investigate Peary's records to know that he really reached the North pole. However, the professor opposes this point by saying that most of the investigators are his friends. Moreover, the investigation is done for only two days without careful examination. Hence, there is no chance to believe that Peary visited the North pole.
Second, the article posits that Peary has traveled to North pole within 37 days just as Tom Avery who recently traveled the same distance within less time. On the other hand, the professor refutes this point by saying that Avery's ship was lightweight when compared to Peary's because his food was carried by airplane, and he also traveled in good weather conditions.
Third, the text conveys that photographs taken by Peary would suggest that he reached the North Pole because the Surf's position matches the position in the North Pole. Nevertheless, the lecturer says that the photographs are blurred and faded which are not visible clearly. Therefore, it is not confident that Peary reached the North Pole.
