Peter Freuchen (1886-1957)

Danish journalist, writer, adventurer and explorer,
who established with Knud Rasmussen (1879-1933)
the artic exploring station in Thule (1910).

In 1926 Mr. Freuchen got frostbite in his leg
and his leg was amputated.

During World War II Mr. Freuchen worked for the
Danish underground - he was an outspoken anti-Nazi.
He was captured by the Germans occupying his country
and sentenced to death. Despite having only one leg,
Mr. Freuchen still managed to escape to Sweden and
from there to the United States.
