Life of a Danish sea cook and the 'blond Eskimos'

Christian Klengenberg Jorgensen died in 1931 in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he retired after a lifetime in the frozen Arctic. They took his ashes back to remote Victoria Island north of Canada and scattered them at Rymer Point, where he’d built a trading post.
