In 1886 he began those intrepid explorations of the Arctic Regions, which have made his name a household word throughout the world. He has undertaken no less than eight voyages in these ice- bound regions, arriving as tar North as 87 degrees on his seventh voyage-1903-6. having been painted in the Arctic Operti, the official artist attached to this expedition. This portrait of the great explorer is absolutely authentic, Regions by Albert Commander Peary has now, however, eclipsed all his previous attainments by at last reaching his life's goal, the North Pole, on April 6, 1909.
