I have never in my life encountered a more bespoke internet meme.
For scale and also for fun I had my friend stand anonymously next to “Thorkell’s Cairn” in #Greenland in a nod to Aage Roussell’s Sandnes photograph from 80 years earlier.
We thought that someone 80 years later asking “who the hell is that guy?” was pretty funny. Still do, really!
