Peter Freuchen
«Peter Freuchen, born Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen (February 2, 1886 - September 2, 1957) was a Danish explorer, author, journalist and anthropologist.
In 1938 he founded The Adventurer's Club (Eventyrernes Klub in Danish), which still exists. They later honoured his memory by planting an oak tree and creating an Eskimo cairn near the place, where he left Denmark for Greenland in 1906.»
