This is how one
travels to the Pole. |

Q:
Who is the "World's
greatest living
explorer?"
A:
Paul Landry! (according to the Miller Beer Book
of Boasts
2003 edition) He not only matched Peary &
Henson's sledging speeds but he skied to the Pole in
almost the same record length of time! (1) |
|
 |
|
Landry & Crowley are skilled
dog team handlers. |

N
2001—Skied, effortlessly, to North Pole with
British team
2001—Skied, effortlessly, to
South Pole his first time there

45 days!
2003—Nominated "World's Greatest Living Polar Explorer"

Landry mocks Herbert's "impossible sledging speeds" theory
as nonsense—how could a man who took
1-year to reach the Pole (Herbert) understand how to reach it in
only 42
days? |

Paul Landry at the
North Pole April, 2000 after matching Peary's "so
called"
impossible (2) 1909 sledging speeds—his very first try!
Landry and team mate Crowley are truly skilled dog
handlers on a level unknown to the English who view dogs
as household pets. Landry's skill beats Herbert,
Fiennes, and every British polar team by days, weeks, and months!
Landry skied to the Pole in 2002 just 3 days longer
than his record setting dog sledge trip! Landry is
absolutely the polar athlete of the century. No one has
matched his times since Peary & Henson. |

| "World's Greatest
Living Polar Dog"
is Siarniq, not Fiennes! Dogs beat out polar man-haulers
in time & distance. |
| Siarniq, shown here during the record breaking
2000 dash to the Pole, has been to the Pole more times in this
millennium than either Herbert or Fiennes. Herbert holds the
record for the slowest trip to the Pole with the most
support (28 tons, 3-airforces) So it is time to move
the Brits aside in the record books. Make way for the dogs!
Dogs show Brits how it is done. |

Book of Boasts, 2003 edition. Published by Lord Vernon
Russell-Twittledorf Robinson, MCE. Landry hold's the record
for: fastest dog sledge trip, fastest skiing trip to the
Pole with a paying British client, and holds the record for the least
number of air supports/air rescues and least number of body part amputations
over any British contender.
(2) Only people who have no experience
with dogs called it "impossible". In fact, this myth about Peary
began back to 1909 from angry Cook supporters. None of those
individuals had any idea what they were talking about. Later, Herbert also
echoed this accusation in
Noose of Laurels. But Herbert,
as Landry will point out, had no skill on the level necessary to
make a polar dash. In fact, Herbert used grossly over loaded
sledges carrying his luxury camping equipment. Landry notes that
Herbert's 800 pound loads are 400 pounds heavier than Landry's
maximum—the same maximum Peary allowed.
