The Greenlandic Polar Explorer

The Greenlandic Polar Explorer is a drama about the life of Juulunnguaq-Jørgen Brønlund and his final journey in Northeast Greenland. The performance follows his path through life as a dog sled driver, son, catechist and sociologist, and portrays his role in the Danmark Expedition 1906-08, which mapped Greenland in the struggle over ownership of Northeast Greenland.
