MARC recordWillem Barentsz [Barents]. Oppdagelsen av Svalbard / Tore Sørensen.
| Title: | Willem Barentsz [Barents]. Oppdagelsen av Svalbard / Tore Sørensen. |
| Translated title: | Willem Barentsz. The discovery of Svalbard. |
| Author(s): | Sørensen, Tore. |
| Date: | 1996. |
| Publisher: | Tromsø: Ravnetrykk |
| Language: | Norwegian. |
| In: | Ultima Thule. (1996.), |
| Abstract: | Four theories on first discoverers: Stone Agers, Norsemen, Pomor trappers or Barentsz (author dismisses Willoughby). Likewise three other groups lack firm evidence. Barentsz hit on islands, searching for North-east Passage in 1596. English and Dutch explorations are described, up to discovery of Svalbard and over-wintering on Novaya Zemlya. Map of West Spitsbergen followed in 1598. Jan Rijp, who separated from Barentsz, went north. On return, he claimed to have seen hacked-off walrus tusks and head on Bear Island, which he understood as sign of Russian ivory trade. |
