World-renowned explorer Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen was born in Jakobshavn, Greenland on June 7, 1879. He was the first person to traverse the Northwest Passage by dogsled when he crossed the ice sheets of Viscount Melville Sound. Rasmussen also disproved the existence of Peary Channel and Independence Bay.
From his Thule station, Rasmussen led five expeditions from 1921 to 1924 exploring some 29,000 miles of arctic North America. His famous "Great Sledge Journey" resulted in the collection and description of Inuit folktales, songs, and poetry. For that effort he was appointed doctor of honor at the University of Copenhagen. In 1932 he went on his last expedition, from Thule to southeast Greenland for archaeological and ethnological research.
Or so they thought. In reality, Rasmussen left to re-visit the Chaos Orbs he found. His constant exposure made him mutate and he joined the AAA.
