The Dutch “Disko” (eng. disc) ship reached Greenland in 1937 with Polish scientific expedition led by Aleksander Kosiba, a researcher from Lvov (in the postwar period from Wroclaw)—a geographer, climatologist and glaciologist, a former student of Romer and Arctowski. The expedition resulted in drawing up a fragment of a precise map of the island and giving a number of geographical names, such as Polonia Glacier and Mount Wawel. One of the polar explorers was Alfred Jahn, the later president of the University of Wroclaw and the initiator of moving the Racławice Panorama painting to Wrocław. The works critically refers to the colonial concepts popular in Twenties of the 20th century in Poland.
