Life
In 1909, Pälsi made a research trip to northern Mongolia . From 1917 to 1919 he traveled to the Chukchi on the Kamchatka Peninsula . Due to the civil war that raged in Russia in the course of the October Revolution , contact with Finland and the possibility of withdrawing money was lost. He therefore worked as a fur trader for a while. In the 1920s to 1940s he toured Europe and North America . On his travels he made photographs and films.
In addition to travel reports and writings on ethnological and archaeological topics, he also wrote well-known humorous stories.
