What If You Could Uncover the North Pole's Greatest Secret? Each December, Santa Claus receives billions of letters from children around the world. Penned by those who believe they belong on Santa's "nice" list, they present an inventory of all their hoped-for toys, address it to the North Pole, then cross their fingers. But seven-year-old Benjamin didn't care about any of that. Instead of composing another standard list of wishes, he needed to know more about the one subject he loves more than any other: Dragons, the world's most misunderstood creatures. That year, Benjamin discovered one thing most of us don't - that jolly old St. Nick has a special place in his heart for these animals, too. In the stables and caves surrounding Santa's workshop, elves have been raising dragons for centuries. Moved by the boy's belief, Santa sent Benjamin an extraordinary gift. He and his elves collected some of the only dragon artifacts ever to leave the North Pole - many offered up by the dragons themselves. And here, in a rare personal letter written by Kris Kringle himself, you can learn all about the earth's last living (and definitely not mythical) creatures: - Tanzanian land dragons - Caribbean water dragons - The South American Onyx - Santa's own house dragon - And many, many more As you read about these fantastical fire-breathers, you'll also find out about the magical properties present in Benjamin's chest of dragon relics. Plus, you'll get to hear about the adventures the elves experienced as they collected these mysteries from Santa's private collection. Accompanied by colorfully whimsical-and totally accurate-field-drawings, Dragons of the North Pole will deepen the magic of the holidays for children of all ages.

To the End of the Earth tells thrilling true adventure of a deadly trek to the North Pole, a 100 year old mystery and an inspiring tale of polar exploration April 2009 is the one-hundredth anniversary of perhaps the greatest controversy in the history of exploration. Did U.S. Naval Commander Robert Peary and his team dogsled to the North Pole in thirty-seven days in 1909? Or, as has been challenged, was this speed impossible, and was he a cheat? In 2005, polar explorer Tom Avery and his team set out to recreate this 100-year-old journey, using the same equipment as Peary, to prove that Peary had indeed done what he had claimed and discovered the North Pole. Navigating treacherous pressure ridges, deadly channels of open water, bitterly cold temperatures, and traveling in a similar style to Peary's with dog teams and replica wooden sledges bound together with cord, Avery tells the story of how his team covered 413 nautical miles to the North Pole in thirty-six days and twenty-two hours—some four hours faster than Peary. Weaving fascinating polar exploration history with thrilling extreme adventure, this is Avery's story of how he and his team nearly gave their lives proving Peary told the truth.

The North Pole is a book by Robert E. Peary. It presents the discovery of The North Pole in 1909 under the auspices of the Peary Arctic Club in colorful fashion.
