Coastline profiles of Kildin and the coast of Teriberka

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

The image shows profiles of the island of Kildin and the coast to its east, ‘Tiribiri’ (i.e. Teriberka), which Van Linschoten’s ship passed in the first days of July 1594.

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.
