Vintage photo circa 1910s of Arctic explorer Robert Edwin Peary (1856 - 1920) - the US Navy officer who claimed to have been the first person to reach the geographic North Pole in April 1909. Peary was granted leaves of absence by the navy to pursue a string of Arctic expeditions over two decades which culminated in his claim that he had reached the Pole. His claim was generally accepted for much of the 20th century after a similar claim by his rival Frederick Cook was discredited but in recent times Peary's claim has also come under doubt amid evidence that he may actually have fallen some miles short of reaching the geographic pole. Peary retired from the navy in 1911 with the rank of Rear Admiral. Photo by Bain News Service.

Vintage photo circa 1910s of Arctic explorer Robert Edwin Peary (1856 - 1920) - the US Navy officer who claimed to have been the first person to reach the geographic North Pole in April 1909. Peary was granted leaves of absence by the navy to pursue a string of Arctic expeditions over two decades which culminated in his claim that he had reached the Pole. His claim was generally accepted for much of the 20th century after a similar claim by his rival Frederick Cook was discredited but in recent times Peary's claim has also come under doubt amid evidence that he may actually have fallen some miles short of reaching the geographic pole. Peary retired from the navy in 1911 with the rank of Rear Admiral. Photo by Bain News Service.

The image was captured by a camera mounted in the lunar module "Eagle". Mission commander Armstrong is on the left, at the flag's staff, and Aldrin is on the right. The photo is one of just a few that feature Armstrong on the moon - most of the iconic pictures taken during the famous walk on the lunar surface were of Aldrin, Armstrong is not in them because he was the one taking the pictures.

Vintage portrait photo circa 1900 of Rear Admiral George Wallace Melville (1841 - 1912) - noted US Navy engineer and Arctic explorer. Melville enlisted in the navy in 1861 and became an officer of the Engineer Corps before seeing action in the US Civil War. He subsequently served on several ships before volunteering in 1873 as chief engineer aboard the USS Tigress for the Arctic mission to find the missing Polaris expedition. In 1879 Melville volunteered to serve on the USS Jeannette for the Arctic expedition under George W DeLong which aimed to find a quick way to the North Pole via the Bering Strait. The Jeannette soon became icebound and drifted for 21 months before being crushed and sinking in 1881 - leaving her crew stranded on ice floes with three small boats and limited provisions. The men attempted to reach the Siberian coast but were separated after taking to the boats and only the boat commanded by Melville reached safety. Melville subsequently went back to search for the other boats - travelling over 1,000 miles before finding the bodies of DeLong and others who had been in a second boat. The third boat was never found. The US Congress awarded Melville the Congressional Gold Medal for his efforts and he later returned to the Arctic in 1884 aboard USS Thetis in the Greely Relief Expedition. He became chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering in 1887, helped develop a modern navy and rose to the rank of Rear Admiral before retiring in 1903. Photo by Levin C Handy.

Vintage photo circa 1910s of British Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922). Irish-born Shackleton served as a junior officer on Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery Expedition of 1901 - 1904 and subsequently led the Nimrod Expedition of 1907 - 1909 (also known as the British Antarctic Expedition) which reached a point closer to the geographic South Pole than had ever previously been attained. Shackleton is however probably best remembered for leading the Endurance Expedition (also known as the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition) of 1914 - 1917 - an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent from sea to sea. Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed and sank - leaving her 28-man crew stranded on the ice and sparking a series of heroic actions which ultimately resulted in the survival of all the expedition members. Shackleton obtained funding for another expedition to Antarctica in 1921 but had a fatal heart attack before the expedition was properly under way. Photo by Bain News Service.
