This block of four stamps was issued to honor a number of men who played key roles in discovering and unlocking the North Pole. Elisha Kent Kane sailed his tiny ship Advance northward perhaps close enough to see the North Pole itself. His stamp shows his ship sinking, after being damaged by ice floes. Adolphus Greely endured devastating hardships to reach a point that was the closest any explorer got to the North Pole for 21 years. His stamp pictures him and two helpers pulling a sled across the ice. Robert E. Peary and Matthew Hensons expeditionary assaults ended in triumph at the North Pole in 1909. Their stamp illustrates the two men trekking northward, using a dog sled. And Vilhjalmur Stefansson explored the Beaufort Sea the last great unknown Arctic area. His stamp shows him carrying a harpoon and dragging his seal catch across the ice.
