Framed Print of Winter quarters of Willem Barents expedition to the Arctic, 1596-1597
Winter quarters of Willem Barents expedition to the Arctic, 1596-1597. Barents (d 1597) was a Dutch navigator who led expeditions in 1594, 1595 and 1596-1597 in search of a Northeast Passage to Asia. None of the expeditions succeeded in finding an open route to the Far East, and on the third voyage Barents ship became trapped in the ice, forcing the crew to remain in the Arctic over the winter. The ship was not released by the ice as soon as expected in the spring, and the crew made their escape in open boats, setting off on 13 June 1597. Most returned home safely, but Barents himself died on 30 June. The winter quarters off Novaya Zemlya in which the expedition sat out the Arctic winter was discovered in 1871, just as it had been left when they set off on the homeward journey almost 300 years earlier.
