ʻOiai ke ʻike nei ka ʻoihana huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa i ka lohi, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka nui o kahi huakaʻi - ʻo ka North Pole.

Ua hoʻohui ʻo Sweitzer: "Akā ʻoiai he huakaʻi kumukūʻai kēia, ʻaʻole ia he huakaʻi maikaʻi. Ke kū nei ka poʻe i komo i kekahi o nā pōʻino like i lilo i poʻe koa o Peary a me kāna kauā ʻApelika-ʻAmelika, ʻo Matthew Henson.
