Summary

Description
English: 'Inukshuk' - Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge.

"This inukshuk stands beside the Scott Polar Research Institute side entrance at Madingly Road, Cambridge, UK. It originated in Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island), Nunavut in 1964 and it was commissioned by Charles Gimpel [a London art dealer, see the London art gallery Gimpel Fils]. (...) It comprises approximately 16 main pieces and several smaller irregular pieces of pink, black and white granite secured with concrete filler. (source : Sandy Campbell, Inukshuk on the grounds of the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, England, University of Alberta's ERA - Education and Research Archive, 2019-04-09.).

After his death in 1973, his family presented the inukshuk to the Scott Polar Research Institute Institute in his memory (source : "In Brief - Our Inukshuk", Polar Record, Volume 20, Issue 124, January 1980, p. 81.)
