- Last part from our mini city break to Copenhagen, Denmark. This includes a look at the Little Mermaid, a train trip to Malmo, Sweden, and at a the end there are some of my favourite photos from the trip. Thank you for watching ^_^
The Triangle building in the back of the "Mermaid", is an artificial "Ski-hill" and an Incinerator Plant below it. Made by a well known Danish Architect: Bjarke Ingels. And the stone with the sledge, which you passed, is a Memorial for the Exploration and the final mapping of till then unmapped East Greenland! Which sadly ended with three men dying, after having finished it!
Only one member: Jørgen Brøndlund, was found, having reached a Depot with his notes, before dying. Finn. Denmark
Thank you so much for telling me about the Memorial for the Exploration - that is a sad story. I hadn't yet managed to google for information, so it's nice to hear about it from you. ^_^
@@JainbowUK It was named: "Danmarks Expeditionen", 1906 - 1908 and it explored the last and huge part of the Greenland Coast up where American Peary had built a Stone Pillar, from his Expedition from the west. He made claims about a possible Canal, which was proven not to be there, and they gave their by then made Maps to another, surviving Group from the same Expedition. But going back they hit areas with no wildlife, snow or Ice (making it able to use the sledges), and had to stay for longer. And this became their death trying to come back. The dogs and - Inuit Jørgen may have eaten from the other dead members - but he was an absurdly good and fantastic Expedition Man! He claimed in his diary (The last part written in Danish, as he knew it would be Danes finding his body) he had left their bodies on the ice of "79 Fiord", and they have never been found.
The Text on the Stone is his Final Message!
The present Danish Military, Sledge Patrol, "Sirius" passes his Grave and Memorial every year!
Their present Barracks in Daneborg, is around from where the Expedition started!
@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Thank you - I really do appreciate your explanations and hope anyone looking at my video will read them too. I have a question for you (unrelated), as a Dane. We saw a pile of cowboy boots on a pole on the corner of Vestergade and Kattesundet. Is it a genuine sculpture or is there a hidden message behind it? I can't find any information on the boots.
@@JainbowUK I'm another Dane who just saw your travel video, hope you had a great trip, I tried googling what the Cowboy boots might be, the only thing I can see is there is a little leather shop on the corner of Vestergade where they have boots, so it must be related to that
