Who was the first man to reach the North Pole, the South Pole and the summit of Everest?
Correct answer: Edmund Hillary
Roxie
So great to see another Kiwi legend honoured! Sir Ed is a true icon for us extremely proud New Zealanders. Just an added fact for you - his famous quote when he reached Mt Everest summit "we knocked the b@stard off"

Roald Amundson was the first person to the south pole.

Those of you saying it was phrased wrong are the ones who need to soul search a bit. Ask yourself honestly whether you really read the question.

I do believe a regular British TV doctor was named after him Dr Hillary Jones. You all feel a bit better knowing that don't you haha.

harryman712, It's not flat or else cats would have pushed everything off it by now!

In the photo at the summit, Tenzing is photographed instead of Hillary because Tenzing did not know how to use the camera!
Jenny
Poorly worded question!
Vic
harryman712, lol. But seriously I love reading and watching documentaries on Hillery, and Scot expeditions, wow, i couldn’t imagine going through what those men went through,so much to learn from them,,

He was asked why did you climb it, he answered because it's there.

FragmentaryClearing8, The question was a bit ambiguous. It was asking who did all three.

Poorly worded question. Because of that, inadequate and easily misunderstood.
