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. In the centre the 9 m tall Spodsbjerg Lighthouse on the 30 m tall moraine cliff at the rough coast half-way to the small charming village Kikhavn.
