Clavering Island
Clavering Island ( da, Clavering Ø) is a large island in eastern Greenland off Gael Hamke Bay, to the south of Wollaston Foreland. The Eskimonaes ''(Eskimonæs)'' radio and weather station was on this island. It was staffed by Danish scientists and was captured by German troops in 1943. The place where the station stood had also been the location of the last Inuit settlement in Northeast Greenland around 1823. History The island was named by the second German North Polar Expedition 1869–70 as ''Clavering Insel'' to commemorate Douglas Charles Clavering (1794–1827), commander of the '' Griper'' on the 1823 voyage, which explored the area and, at the southern shore of this island made the first (and last) encounter that Europeans made with the now extinct Northeast-Greenland Inuit. In late August 1823, Clavering and the crew of the ''Griper'' encountered a band of twelve Inuit, including men, women and children. In his journal, Clavering described their seal-skin tent, cano ...

He was engaged by the Oxford Players, where he worked with the likes of John Gielgud and Robert Morley.
