Knud Rasmussen - The Bear in the Ice Hole, by Knud Rasmussen - Greenland and its People, by P.H. Lundsteen.
Belle curiosité éditoriale, cette évocation du combat avec un ours polaire, dans la baie de Melville au Groenland, est l'oeuvre de l'explorateur danois du Groenland Knud Rasmussen (1879-1933).
"Knud Rasmussen's first expedition was the Literary one of 1902-1904. In 1910, he established the station at Thule, as a mission station, trading post, and a base for expeditions, among them the seven Thule expeditions. There he founded a specail form of self-government, based on the Eskimo social order, which was maintained when Thule was taken over by the Government after his death, and which indeed remains in force to this day.
"The Thule expeditions of 1912-1933 all resulted in rich collections for the Danish National Museum, which through the initiative and donations of Knud Rasmussen has become a centre of Eskimo studies."
Le second texte de ce recueil est dû à P.H. Lundsteen, qui fut gouverneur du Groenland de 1950 à 1960.
