Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved to be a worthy and smart seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream .

Over the next five years, the two explorers(探险家) made two trips together to the Arctic(北极). However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. span>The cold, wind, and ice were than either of them had ever imagined.
