Peder Olsen Walløe

In August 1751, Walloe left Godthaab in a native boat accompanied by two Danish sailors and two Eskimo rowers.

The next year he passed Cape Farewell and worked a little way up the unmapped east coast to an island which he called Nenese (Nanuuseq).

His diaries contain information about the country's population and threw light on the conditions under which colonists in Greenland lived during his time.

[1] Peder Olsen Walløe's diaries were published during 1927 in the abstracts by noted Danish archivist and historian Louis Theodor Alfred Bobé (1867-1951).

Dr. Louis Bobé was a professor at the University of Copenhagen, chairman of the Greenlandic Society (Grønlandske selskabs) (1921-1924) and was appointed Royal Danish historian in 1921.
