The home of the famous Danish polar explorer and anthropologist, Knud Rasmussen, on the moraine cliff Spodsbjerg at Hundested, North Sealand, Denmark.
The home of the famous Danish polar explorer and anthropologist, Knud Rasmussen at Hundested, Zealand, Denmark. (Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen (June 7, 1879 – December 21, 1933). The house is now a museum of arctic exploration and the explorer's life and addiction to wild nature even at his home in Southern Denmark. Situated high on the 30 m tall moraine cliff, Spodsbjerg, there is a fantastic view over the Kattegat Sea from the house. On clear days the island Hesselø 26 km away can be seen. In the centre of the image the 9 m tall Spodsbjerg Lighthouse on top of the cliff half-way to the small charming hamlet Kikhavn. Further left in the distance towards the west-wind-bent tree is the Knud Rasmussen memorial rock cairn raised after his death by Greenland and South- Danish friends in 1936 of rocks from various places in Greenland related to Knud Rasmussen's journeys.
