	William Barents - Arctic Explorers - All Things Arctic
		The Barents Sea (formerly called the Murmean Sea) is an extension of the Arctic Ocean lying north of Norway and Russia.
		In northern sections of the Barents sea, the average winter air temperature is -13° F, but the Russian port of Murmansk remains ice-free in winter, partly because of the North Cape Current.
		The Dutch navigator William Barents, for whom the Barents Sea is named, is one of the more renowned of the early European explorers of the Arctic.

		With these and other treasures Barents was now forced to return from these high latitudes, and he sailed safely into the Texel after three and a half months' absence.
		In hazy weather they made their way north till on the 19th they saw land, and the "land was very great." They thought it was Greenland, but it was really Spitzbergen, of which he was thus the discoverer.
		Barents himself was now too ill to walk, so they carried him to one of the little boats, and on 14th June 1597 the little party put off from their winter quarters and sailed round to Ice Point.

		The house was still intact, and he began to remove some of what was called “Barents’ Relics.” After three visits, he had removed a total of 80 items from the house.

		The Dutch and English governments then negotiated for the “Barents’ Relics” to be returned to the Netherlands.

	A Winter Away from Home - RELATED NAUTICAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Around the end of the 16th century, several expeditions tried to establish a North-East passage to Asia, but fog, pack-ice, and the confusing geography of the Russian coast proved consistently frustrating.
		A Winter Away from Home is the marvelously vivid account of the ordeal faced by Barents and his 16-member crew, who were the first West Europeans to winter in the high Arctic and survive.
		Barents died on the way home, but his voyage was meticulously recorded by one of the survivors.

	Global energy hunger brings oil and gas boom to Arctic - Turkish Daily News Dec 19, 2006
		With the world's known petroleum resources drying up, the inhospitable waters of the Barents Sea are a new frontier in the search for oil and gas.
		The area, named after 16th century Dutch explorer William Barents, is one of the world's cleanest and richest fishing grounds, and has fragile cold weather ecology -- both of which environmentalists fear the hunger for oil could put at risk.
		The value of what remains to be discovered in the Barents could test the relations of any neighbors, and Norway and Russia already routinely squabble over fishing rights in the far north.

	Edward Browne's Travels: Part I
		In the middle Isle of the new Church there is a noble monument, the Tombe of William of Nassaw Prince of Orange, together with his Wife and Son, Prince Maurice; his Statua in armour with his Dog at his feet, and four Obelisks are supported by ten Marble pillars.
		Heemskerk was the chief of the twelve which returned from that cold habitation, where none but the Bears and Foxes could well endure the Winter, where he had been twice, and afterwards made two rich Voyages into India.
		The Statua's of the twelve Cæsars, of Aristotle the Pyramids and Partitions, with the Paintings upon the wall, are the rest of its Ornaments.

		In an unprecedented mission, two Russian bomber typed Tu-95 yesterday flew south along the Norwegian coast, between Denmark and Great Britain and towards the Netherlands, where a NATO summit was going on.
		The development of the Shtokman field in the Barents Sea triggers enormous optimism among business leaders in the Norwegian border town Kirkenes.
		- The Shtokman agreement is a milestone for the Barents cooperation and a result off the good Norwegian—Russian cross-border relations in the north, says Rune Rafaelsen, General Secretary in the Norwegian Barents Secretariat.

		It's a pioneering venture to extract natural gas in the fragile Arctic waters of the Barents Sea, which the Nordic country uneasily shares with its powerful neighbour Russia - and may contain billions of barrels more of yet-to-be discovered oil and gas.
		The area, named after 16th century Dutch explorer William Barents, is one of the world's cleanest and richest fishing grounds, and has fragile cold weather ecology - both of which environmentalists fear the hunger for oil could put at risk.
		The Norwegian government has slowly and cautiously opened up the remote Barents Sea to oil companies since the first exploration licence was issued in 1984.
