Harry Whitney
Harry Whitney (December 1, 1873 – May 20, 1936) was an American sportsman, adventurer, and author. He traveled to northern
Greenland with
Robert Peary in 1908, staying over the winter with the
Inughuit at
Etah and
Annoatok. In the spring of 1909 Whitney found himself at the center of the controversy between
Frederick Cook and Peary over who had reached the
North Pole first. A year after his return, he published a book on the trip. He is sometimes confused with his contemporary
Harry Payne Whitney, who was no relation.
