Denmark Expedition Memorial, Memorial stone at Langelinie, Denmark.
The granite memorial features carved figures of three men pushing a dog sledge, illustrating the expedition members' journey through the Arctic landscape.
In 1907, explorers Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen, Niels Peter Høeg Hagen, and Jørgen Brønlund perished during their mapping expedition to North-East Greenland.
The memorial incorporates text from Brønlund's journal, preserving the final words of the expedition members who furthered Danish polar research.
Visitors can reach the memorial by walking along the Langelinie promenade, where multiple transportation options connect to central Copenhagen.
The 40-ton granite boulder used for the memorial was retrieved from underwater in the Flinterenden Channel, where sculptor Kai Nielsen inspected it wearing diving gear.
