Biography
Carl Hartvig Ryder (September 12, 1858 – May 3, 1923) was a Danish naval officer and Arctic explorer.
He was a member of several expeditions:
The meteorological expedition 1882-83 to Nuuk led by Adam Paulsen,
The naturalist expedition to West Greenland with Eugenius Warming and Theo Holm in 1884 on the schooner Fylla
J. A. D. Jensen's 1885 expedition
He led an expedition to the Upernavik Distrikt in 1886-1887 and, most famously, the 1891-1892 expedition to East Greenland by the vessel Hekla. The way north from Ittoqqortoormiit was effectively blocked by ice. Instead, Ryder made the first comprehensive mapping of the entire Scoresby Sund fjord system.
He married Ida Caroline Helene Clara Wolff in 1888.
