Isaac Israel Hayes


Isaac Israel Hayes was an early Arctic Explorer. In 1854, he explored as far north as the 79th Parallel North. At this time, many people believed in the Open Polar Sea. This was a theory that if you got through the thick ice you found when sailing north, you would reach a huge open sea surrounding the North Pole. Hayes claimed to have seen the Open Polar Sea during an 1860 expedition.

  1. I think Mr. Hayes told a little fib.

  2. I feel really guilty. I know you have had heat and no rain for some time now. The reports are that it has spread almost nationwide. Where I live on the West Coast it is a perfect sunny breezy 74 degrees.
