The Crocker Land Expedition was a significant Arctic exploration into the North Polar Regions, primarily aimed at confirming the existence of "Crocker Land," a supposed phantom island previously sighted by Robert Peary. Led by Donald B. MacMillan, this arduous journey ultimately concluded that the alleged landmass was a mirage, contributing valuable insights into the challenging polar environment and the nature of Arctic discovery.
