Description
A map of the Arctic compiled by Dutch navigator and explorer William Barents (c.1550-1597), who attempted to find the Northeast Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific on several expeditions. Barents died in June 1597, trapped in pack ice off the coast of Novaja Zemlja after having discovered and circumnavigated the Spitsbergen archipelago. The Barents Sea, Barentsburg and Barents Region were all named after William Barents.
