Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1893 - Holsteinborg: Safe Harbor
The town of Holsteinborg, Greenland
“Holsteinborg is situated on a projecting peninsula of the mainland, which here rises to a considerable height, but is partly bordered by a strip of flat lowland, intersected by valleys. The houses, with a church and missionary dwelling, stand at the mouth of a valley, somewhat higher above the sea than most Greenland settlements. The harbour is spacious, offering a safe anchorage for ships.” - Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
