The shot ice bear

"Polar bear with cubs" is a statue in Langelinie and represents Greenland. It was cast in bronze by the Danish sculptor Holger Wederkinch and was awarded with gold medal in 1929 in Paris. If you look closely you will notice the polar bear has some bullet holes, made by a German soldier under the Occupation of Denmark. -RS
