Runner from a dog sledge found in the
Faroe Islands
|
 |
 |
| This
runner from a dog
sledge was found 20. June on the shore in Sørvági. It was the
very famous artist and writer Lasse S., who got the surprise for
the life finding the runner, as he took a walk along the shore in
Sørvági. The runner looks quite new, so it has not been in the
sea long. |
| Emil
Rosing from Greenland National Museum says, that it looks like a runner from a typical dog sledge from
Thule although is also could be floated out from North-West
Greenland, East-Greenland-Ammassalik or Scoresbysund, where
driving dog sledge is also common.
