1903-06 Gjøa expedition. Photograph album

These photographs from the Gjøa expedition were discovered in a chest in an outbuilding at Uranienborg in 2015.📜 They show the crew on board Gjøa and on a sledge journey, and several of the Inuit Amundsen met during the expedition. We still don’t know the full story behind this album and why these particular prints were made.
