About Ole Olufsen
- Ole Olufsen (24 January 1865 – 13 December 1929) was a Danish military officer and explorer.
- He made several notable expeditions in the 1890s to the Emirate of Bukhara, including the Pamir Mountains.
- He also served as Secretary of the Royal Danish Geographical Society.
- Olufsen was a proponent of the idea that the peoples of the Pamirs retained traits of Avestan culture, a notion borrowed from the works of Wilhelm Geiger and Karoly Jeno Ujfalvy de Mezo-Kovesd, and that the region was still populated by adherents of Zoroastrianism.
- During his 1898-99 expeditions to the Pamirs, Olufsen was accompanied by Danish botanist Ove Paulsen.
