The Fifth Thule Expedition

Between 1921 and 1924, Knud Rasmussen led an epic journey of ethnographic investigation across the top of the North America from Greenland to Siberia. In three and a half years he and his six companions traveled 20,000 miles by dog sled, collected 20,000 artifacts and compiled thousands of pages of information about Inuit culture and history. This journey is known as the Fifth Thule Expedition.
