Description
An article on page 8 of the Melbourne newspaper The Argus on September 9, 1922. The article corrects a previous article in The Argus that reported, based on accounts in American newspapers, that a Viking warrior had been found frozen in an iceberg off Greenland and taken to Copenhagen in a refrigerated state. Instead Dr Noerlund from Denmark found perfectly preserved men’s costumes of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries which, as the article points out, was the time of the Italian poet Dante. The artefacts were taken to a museum in Copenhagen.
