520    In 1909, three daring expeditions pushed to the edges of 
       the globe, bringing within reach, for the first time, a 
       complete accounting of all the earth’s surface. In January
       , Douglas Mawson, as part of Ernest Shackleton’s Nimrod 
       Expedition to Antarctica, became the first man to reach 
       the South Magnetic Pole. Soon after, Shackleton himself 
       set a new farthest south record in pursuit of the 
       Geographic South Pole. In April, American Robert Peary, 
       with Matthew Henson, claimed to be the first to reach the 
       North Pole. And in the Himalayas—the so-called "Third Pole
       ," the pole of altitude— a team led by legendary 
       mountaineer and dashing Italian Prince Luigi Amedeo, the 
       Duke of Abruzzi, reached 24,600 feet, setting a world 
       altitude record that would stand for a generation.
