Description:The Danish geologist and geographer Hinrich Rink (1819 93) amassed decades of experience in exploring Greenland, becoming well versed in the language and customs of the Inuit. The present work is a condensed version of his investigations into indigenous culture, first published in two volumes in 1866 and 1871. Rink revised and translated the work from Danish into English for this 1875 publication, and the text was emended by the Scottish scientist and explorer Robert Brown (1842 95).

The second part, which is significantly longer, recounts the legends and folk tales that Rink had recorded on his travels.
