Graah made an extended trip up the southeast Greenland coast in Eskimo umiaks, reaching as far north as 65' in the summer of 1829. A second attempt to reach farther north was made the following year, but was unsuccessful. The large map was prepared for the Danish edition in 1832. See this catalogue for the Danish edition as well.
