Dr. Cook at Copenhagen (1909)

Dr. Cook at Copenhagen (1909) - Documentary Movies 6 minutes. Dr. Cook's Reception Into Copenhagen. On 4 September Frederick Albert Cook (1865-1940) arrived in Copenhagen on the ship 'Hans Egede'. He received a hero's welcome as the first man to set foot on the North Pole. He was greeted by the king, and given an honorary doctorate at the University of Copenhagen. Only a few days later, however, his endeavour was questioned, and in December the University rejected Cook's documentation. Carl Th. Dreyer is seen as one of the journalists taking notes. (DFI) ,
