Knud Rasmussen, a Danish explorer of mixed Inuit heritage, accomplished at the beginning of the 20th century what no man had achieved before him. His expeditions across the hostile lands of Greenland led to major geographical and ethnographic discoveries. His passion for the Inuit people and culture was the primary motivation for these expeditions, always perilous and sometimes deadly. The most famous of these, a three-year journey by sled to cross the Northwest Passage, will forever remain etched in the annals of Adventure. A renowned anthropologist, Knud Rasmussen opened the eyes of the entire world to the Inuit people, and the path to recognition and rights for the Inuit of Greenland, who considered him one of their own. The author pays tribute to this unique journey in a fascinating fictional biography.
