Item Details
Description
  • Map Title: 'Nouvelle Zemble' Shows Novaya Zemlya (Nova Zebla) with an incomplete coastline. The Russians knew of Novaya Zemlya from the 11th century, when hunters from Novgorod visited the area. For western Europeans, the search for the Northern Sea Route in the 16th century led to its exploration. The first visit from a west European was by Hugh Willoughby in 1553, and he met Russian ships from the already established hunting trade. Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya in 1594, and in a subsequent expedition of 1596 rounded the northern point and wintered on the northeast coast. (Barentsz died during the expedition, and may have been buried on the northern island. During a later voyage by Fyodor Litke in 18211824, the west coast was mapped. Henry Hudson was another explorer who passed through Novaya Zemlya while searching for the Northeast Passage.
