In 1910 Roald Amundsen set off from Oslo toward the North Pole but soon received word that two Americans--Frederick Cook and Robert Peary--each claimed to have reached the Pole ahead of him. Devastated, Amundsen famously went south. For years Cook and Peary tried to convince the world of their claims.
