Peary Cache
A Navy and Coast Guard expedition returning from the Arctic in late September brought back handwritten records left in the polar regions more than 40 years ago by Comander Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the north pole. Peary had found, and cached along with his own statement, documents left by a British expedition in 1875-76. The cairn containing the papers was located at Cape Sheridan, which is 450 miles from the north pole.
