Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen[1] (/ˈræsmʊsən/; 7 June 1879 – 21 December 1933)[2] was a Greenlandic-Danish polar explorer and anthropologist. He has been called the "father of Eskimology"[3] (now often known as Inuit Studies or Greenlandic and Arctic Studies) and was the first European to cross the Northwest Passage via dog sled.[4] He remains well known in Greenland, Denmark and among Canadian Inuit.[5]
