Coastline profiles and bird's eye view of the Yugor Strait

On the upper side, two coastline profiles show both coasts of the Nassau Strait.

Below, a bird’s eye view of the western entrance to the Strait. The inscriptions as well as Van Linschoten’s account make clear that the Strait looks like a closed bay from this side, as ‘Idol’s Island’ (which was actually a peninsula, as other sources attest) obscured the narrow part of the strait from view. We see various Dutch names that the expedition members gave to regions, islands and landmarks.

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.
