Human History CapeColumbia was first reached in 1876 by Pelham Aldrich , a lieutenant with the British Arctic Expedition expedition 1875 76 of British explorer George Nares . Peary Robert Peary chose the Cape as the location for the northernmost depot of his final attempt to reach the Pole 1909 , not only for its proximity but because it lay far enough west to be out of the ice current setting down Robeson Channel . From CapeColumbia his party planned to strike straight north over the ice of the Arctic Sea. His winter camp and ship the Roosevelt were situated some convert 90 mi abbr on southeast, at Cape Sheridan near Alert, Nunavut Alert . Peary s sledge divisions left the Roosevelt from February 15 to 22, 1909, rendezvoused at CapeColumbia, and on March 1 the expedition left CapeColumbia, heading across the Arctic Ocean for the Pole.
