Description

Nederlands: Het eiland Spitsbergen werd in 1596 door Willem Barentsz ontdekt bij een poging om een noordoostelijke doorvaart naar Indië te vinden. Na de ontdekking van het eiland vestigden de Nederlanders hier het walvisvangststation Smerenburg dat in 17de en 18de eeuw de belangrijkste uitvalsbasis voor Nederlandse walvisvaarders was. Deze kaart van Spitsbergen werd in 1662 door Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) gepubliceerd in het eerste deel van zijn Atlas Maior.

English: The island Spitsbergen was discovered in 1596 by Willem Barentsz (c. 1550-1597) while searching for a north-eastern seaway to India. After its discovery, the Dutch established the whaling station Smerenburg that would become the most important station for the Dutch whalers in the 17th and 18th centuries. This map of Spitsbergen was published in 1662 by Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) in the first volume of his Atlas Maior.
