"Bush's Ultimate Thule"
By Mike Davis
In the early summer of 1951, a group of Inuit hunters, guiding a French anthropologist, returned to their homes at Thule in the northwest of Greenland after a daring expedition to Canada's Ellesmere Island. When they had left the year before, Thule was one of the most remote communities on earth: twenty igloos and a trading post established in 1910 by Greenland's national hero, Knud Rasmussen, to provide a base for his famed
ethnographic explorations.
