WHAT DID HE DO?
He took 7 trips to reach the North Pole
At one point of the trek he fell in the arctic waters that were —15 degrees Celsius.
Robert peary's feet got injured from the harsh cold so Henson continued on and reached the North Pole first.
When he came back from his explorations he brought 6 inuit people to the usa
Since he was a black man, he wasn't recognized as being the first person to reach the North Pole.
Peary got the credit instead
Many years later he was finally recognized for this achievement
