Peary's claim had been derided because people just didn't belive the journey could have been done so quickly. Avery, however, was convinced that he had been telling the truth. Despite the fact that no subsequent expedition had ever come close to matching Peary's time, Avery decided to recreate the journey.

Avery and his team were to cover the 413 nautical miles to the North Pole in just thirty-six days and twenty-two hours, setting a new world record and reaching the Pole some four hours faster then Peary. Weaving the fascinating history of Arctic exploration with thrilling extreme adventure, To the End of the Earth is Avery's story of how he and his team risked their lives to solve polar exploration's greatest mystery.
