April 6, 1909 Matthew Henson became the first man to reach the North Pole. Adm. Robert E. Peary, the expedition’s commander, arrived about 45 minutes after Henson. The temperature was -29 degrees when Henson planted the American flag at 90 degrees north-the only place on the planet where the only way you go is south!Hampton Roads Gazeti www.hrgazeti.com
