Danish Arctics Captains Rescued After Two Years
Capt Ejnar Mikkelsen and Enginer Iversen, Danish Arctic explorers, were rescued July 17 off Greenland by a Norwegian fishing boat after spending over two years in the region. They had wintered at Bags Rock Island near Shamrock Island and built a cabin. They appeared wild when found, rushing out nearly naked with guns, mistaken as beasts by the rescuers. They had dragged one another 100 miles on a sledge and had enough ammunition to seek food at all times.
