北极探险家罗伯特．培利 (Robert
E. Peary) 出生
1856年5月6日
作为一个工程师，培利的第一份工作是到温暖的热带地区，而不是到冰冷的北方工作。在中美洲的尼加拉瓜工作时，他和他的非裔美籍助理马修．韩森 (Matthew
Henson) 一共工作，后来韩森成为他最能够信任的伙伴，并且一同前往北极探险。他们逐步前往最北的目标。
An engineer, Peary was sent on his first job to the warm tropics rather than the icy northland. In Nicaragua, in Central America, he brought along his African-American assistant, Matthew Henson who became such a trusted companion that the two men traveled together on all of Peary's expeditions. Together, they took steps toward their northernmost goal.
