In order to prepare for exploring the north pole, Brother Robert Peary first made an expedition to Greenland. During this training expedition Peary, a member of Kane Lodge 454 in NY, experienced the same grueling conditions he knew he would face in his Arctic adventure. In the process he discovered Independence Bay, explored the entire frigid northern coast and reached Greenland's northernmost point, Cape Morris Jessup. Amazingly, Peary's pregnant wife Josephine accompanied him on the trip.
