Profiles of the Russian coast

The image shows profiles of the Russian coast from the Kanin peninsula until the mouth of the river Pechora, in what it the present-day district of Nenetsia. The ships passed this coast in the first weeks 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.
