Both the lecture and the reading discuss about the whether Robert reached the north pole or not. But, the reading says that he reached the north pole, the lecture refutes this claim in different ways.
First of all, reading suggests that he reached the north pole because the national geographic association verified all his records and equipment which consider and declared that Robert reached the north pole. However,the lecturer counters this view by stating that it was objective, plus, trip fund was given by his friend. Further, it is biased not true statement.
In addition, reading claims that Tom Avery, recently reached their within 37 days same like Robert did and he also used the similar dogsled and same breeding dogs. The professor refuses this idea by stating that the condition was very different for both Robert and Tom, Tom did not carry any food which was supplied by the flight. Apart from that, condition was worst for Robert unlike Tom's trip-favourable for him.
Finally, the passage states that position of sun in the photograph which Robert taken- position of sun on those days are more accurate while exam it. Still, the speaker reputes this statement by explaining that the camera which used was primitive one and it is old photo with blared and faded picture that could not correct position at all. Even, he says that he might not taken the picture itself.
To sum up, the reading states that Robert reached north pole because of National Geographic association statement, Tom achieved the same goal at same amount of time and position of the sun in his photograph. But, speaker refutes all these all points with some logical explains and evidences. So, he disagrees with that Robert reached the north pole.
