Peder Olsen Walløe
Peder Olsen Walløe (1716-1793) was a Dano-Norwegian Arctic explorer. He came to Greenland as one of five colonists called by Hans Egede. He learned to speak the language Kalaallisut and settled as a trader with permission to operate outside the Godthåb colony. In 1751-53, Walløe explored the southern coasts of Greenland on behalf of the Danish Lutheran mission. The aim was to locate the lost Eastern Norse Settlement. The expediton used umiaks able to navigate in the shallow waters between the coast and the sea ice. As the first European in modern times, he passed Cape Farewell and reached the east coast of Greenland. Walløe then settled in Denmark and never returned to Greenland.
