Gennembrud af isen ("Sikorssuit ajârdlugit ingerdlassut") 1878 - 1879

"Gennembrud af isen ("Sikorssuit ajârdlugit ingerdlassut")" (Breakthrough of the Ice) is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Lars Møller between 1878 and 1879, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a group of men, likely Inuit, pushing a large ice floe with long poles. A ship is visible in the background, and the scene evokes the challenges and perils of Arctic exploration. Møller's work captures the historical context of 19th-century Arctic exploration and its significance for both Danish and Inuit communities.
