Willem Barentsz
Willem Barentsz ((:ˈʋɪləm ˈbaːrənts); anglicized as William Barents or Barentz) (c. 1550 – 20 June 1597) was a Dutch navigator, cartographer, and Arctic explorer. He went on three expeditions to the far north in search for a Northeast passage. During his third expedition, the crew was stranded on Novaya Zemlya for almost a year. Barentsz died on the return voyage in 1597. In the 19th century, the Barents Sea was named after him.
==Life==
Willem Barentsz was born around 1550 on the island Terschelling in the Seventeen Provinces, present-day Netherlands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Historic expedition led by Willem Barentsz nears 400th anniversary )〕
A cartographer by trade, Barentsz sailed to Spain and the Mediterranean to complete an atlas of the Mediterranean region, which he co-published with Petrus Plancius.〔
His career as an explorer was spent searching for the Northeast passage, which he reasoned must exist as clear, open water north of Siberia since the sun shone 24 hours a day, which he believed would have melted any potential ice.
