About me / Bio:
Henry Asbjørn Larsen was a Norwegian-Canadian Arctic explorer and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer. He immigrated to Canada in 1927 and joined the RCMP in 1928. He became the captain of the St. Roch, a ship specially built for Arctic service. He led several voyages across the Northwest Passage, becoming the first person to traverse it from west to east and the first to do it in both directions. He also participated in the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1948 and the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58. He retired from the RCMP in 1961 with the rank of inspector and received many honors and awards for his achievements, including the Polar Medal, the Order of the British Empire, and the Massey Medal. He died of a heart attack in Vancouver in 1964. He is remembered as one of the greatest Arctic explorers of the 20th century and a pioneer of Canadian sovereignty in the north.
