On Earth, there is a point, standing here, you look around, all you can see is the south, which is the northernmost point of the earth, the North Pole.
The Arctic region, which is cold all year round, has a very harsh living environment. It is precisely because of this that it attracted many explorers from all over the world, and until the end of the 19th century, many navigators and explorers tried to reach the North Pole, although they went through hardships, but they did not succeed, so who was the first person in the North Pole?Let's take a look back in history to see what interesting stories the mysterious Arctic has to offer.
Edit. 1. The first person to enter the Arctic Circle - Pai Zes.
Born in the Kingdom of Greece in 350 BC, Pais was a famous astronomer of Alexander's empire who was proficient in seamanship. In the spring of 310 B.C., he sailed along the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean with a fleet of ships, and six years later reached the Arctic seas, becoming the world's first Arctic explorer and the first foreigner to reach the Arctic (note: the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic are Inuit). However, due to the harsh weather, he led his team back within a few days.
Edit. 2. The first person to spend the winter in the Arctic Ocean - Barry.
The winter of the Arctic Ocean is unusually cold, and there are different degrees of polar night phenomena in the Arctic Circle, and no hot person dares to enter the Arctic Ocean in the long cold winter for a long time. In January 1819, during a military expedition led by British naval officer Edwalt Barry, he reached the North Pole near the North Pole at 82 °45 north latitude along the northwest route, and spent the winter there, becoming the first outsider in history to spend the winter in the Arctic Ocean. A historical miracle has been created.
Edit. 3. The first person to combine exploration and scientific research - Nanshan.
Nan Shan, an Englishman, was a world-renowned scientific research expert at that time, and he had always been far-sighted and adventurous. In November 1892, Nanshan drew up a plan for drifting in the Arctic Ocean, and his actions were supported by people from all walks of life and received a grant of £3,000. On June 24, 1894, he led 13 staff members to the Arctic Ocean on the amphibious ship "Pherom", and he established the nature, depth and temperature of the sea water in the Arctic Ocean, the nature of floating water and the species and habits of animals in the Arctic zone. A large amount of detailed information was collected and scientifically classified throughout the rafting, which provided a large amount of scientific basis for later Arctic expeditions.
Edit. Fourth, the first person to reach the North Pole - Piri.
U.S. Navy officer Peerie, who aspired to be the first man to reach the summit of the North Pole since he was a child, struggled for 20 years to realize this ideal. On February 7, 1902, at the age of 53, he led a team of 24 members and 19 sleds to set off from the Cape Koramonbia in North America to the north, and finally reached the summit of the North Pole on April 6 of that year, planting the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the North Pole, becoming the first person to reach the summit of the North Pole.
