In 2005 Avery and his five teammates used dog teams to travel 413 miles to the North Pole, recreating the journey of Robert Peary. Their time of just under 37 days bested that of Peary thus reopening his disputed claim to having reached the Pole in 1909. Avery is one of 41 people to have reached both poles on foot.
