專家說明

Pedro Christóphersen (1845-1930), a Norwegian emigrant to Argentina, was a successful businessman and diplomat. He served as Consul General of Russia in Buenos Aires, and in this capacity he was influential in petitioning Emperor Alexander III (1845-1894) to establish an Orthodox church in Buenos Aires in 1888. Christóphersen was also one of the chief supporters of the Antarctic expedition (1910-1912) led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, the first to reach the South Pole in December of 1911.
