Hans Egede, the Norwegian pastor who went to Greenland in 1721 to find the lost Norse colonists and stayed as a missionary, describes the country he came to know. He covers its coasts, climate, plants, whales, seals and fish, and the dress, hunting, customs and beliefs of the Greenlanders, prefaced here by a historical introduction and a sketch of his life.
