Though appearing solid, the ice sat atop seawater, and shifted violently according to the whims of the ocean below. Peary was used to the conditionshed barely survived them just three years before when he first tried, and failed, to reach the earths northernmost point. But this time around, no amount of peril could dissuade Peary and his party from their attempt.
