TPO 28- integrated writing - Peary's trip to the North Pole
According to the reading passage, in spite of the expressed doubts, it is proved that Robert Peary, a well-known arctic explorer, reached the North Pole on April 7, 1909. On the other hand, the lecturer finds the presented reasons in the reading dubious and unconvincing and provides counter evidence to refute them all.
The first reason discussed by the reading is that the committee put together by the National Geographic Society declared that Peary’s accounts were consistent and he had actually reached the North Pole. Conversely, the professor states that the committee was mostly consisting of Peary’s close friends who had funded his trips, so it did not act objectively and their investigation took only 2 days which shows it was not a thorough examination and can not be considered as a proof.
Secondly, the reading asserts that due to the same trek made by Tom Avery, which was so similar to Peary’s, it is believed that Peary’s trip could have also ended up in the North Pole. On the contrary, the speaker explains that Avery’s trip had been different in many ways; for example, although he had the same sled as Peary’s, he carried less weight by his sled and the weather in which he started his journey was highly favorable which is in direct contradiction with the weather in which Peary had set off.
The last argument explained by the reading is that the position of the Surf calculated by the measurements of the shadows in the photographs taken by Peary shows that he had indeed been at the North Pole on that day. However, the lecturer casts doubt on this point and highlights the fact that the photographs were taken by a primitive camera and were so blurred and fainted, so they could have not shown the precise measurement of the shadows and therefore calculate the position of the Sun.
