Coastline profile of the east side of the Yugor Strait

Various coastline profiles and landmarks document the appearance of the coast on the east side of the Nassau Strait. On the bottom right, the island of Myasnoi (Staten Island), which is just in front of the Russian coast on the east side of the strait.

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.
