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.
