Profiles of the Russian coast, Vaygach and the Yugor Strait

Linschoten, Jan Huygen van / Doetechum, Joannes / Baptista à / van / Ketel, Gerard

Various coastal profiles show Russia’s north coast, from the mouth of the river Pechora until the west coast of the island of Vaygach.

From Jan Huygen van Linschoten’s Voyagie ofte Schipvaart, an account of the first and second expeditions Dutch fleets undertook along the north coast of present-day Russia in order to find a northeast passage to Asia.
