“At Upernavik, where I had counted on finding a large supply of good dogs, I was disappointed in finding that I could obtain at most ten or eleven, as the others were scattered about the limits of the colony… Here too I met my old friend of 1886, Pastor Morch, the only ordained Eskimo pastor in Greenland. Our stay at Upernavik was only long enough to get the dogs on board, and also a native pilot, Andreas Peters, who was to show us the way to Tasiusak, forty miles to the northward, where the Governor informed me he was confident I could obtain a number of very good dogs.” - Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
