	Willem Barents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barents' vessel, after rounding the north of Novaya Zemlya, was trapped in the ice, and the crew was compelled to winter on Novaya Zemlya, tearing apart their ship's superstructure and spare timber to build a lodge.
		Since the ship was not released from the ice early in 1597, Barents' party left her in two open boats on June 13, and most of the crew escaped.
		In 1871, the house where Barents and his crew wintered was discovered undisturbed, with many relics, which are preserved at The Hague; and in 1875, part of his original journal was found.
