Answer:

False (the Medal of Honor was awarded for their achievement but later records showed they never made it to North Pole)

Explanation:

Initially, it was considered that the co-pilot Floyd Bennett and explorer and navigator Richard Evelyn Byrd made it to the North Pole, a 1,545-mile trip, and back after a 15 hours and 30 minute flight. They were given Medal of Honor for their achievement and were considered national heroes until 1996 when a dairy was found of explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd in which it was stated that they turned back about 150 miles away from the North Pole due to an oil leakage. Hence, the first flight achievement was awarded to Umberto Nobile, Lincoln Ellsworth, and Roald Amundsen who made on May 12, 1926.

Si estuviera más cerca, la fuerza sería mayor: las mareas bajas serían más bajas, las altas harían desaparecer las ciudades costeras.
