Ejnar Mikkelsen was devoted to Arctic exploration. In 1910 he decided to search for the diaries of the ill-fated Mylius-Erichsen expedition, which had set out to prove that Robert Peary’s outline of the East Greenland coast was a myth, erroneous and presumably self-serving.

"Dans leur univers capitonné, Jean-Noël et Marie-Ange se chauffaient au bon soleil de l'orgueil. Toutefois, le spectacle d'une trop grande misère, d'un aveugle tâtonnant en traversant la rue, d'une vieille femme décharnée et guenilleuse, ou bien encore certaines faces hostiles, leur donnaient une sensation passagère de culpabilité et de vulnérabilité à la fois. Un léger malaise, plutôt qu'un vrai sentiment."
