Expedition to Novaya Zemlya; Walrus hunt in Magdalenefjorden (Norway), 1680. Depicting a highlight on the Third Arctic Expedition of Willem Barentsz (1596). The inscription translates as 'The trip to Novaya Zemlya', and the scene here depicts a walrus hunt in Magdalenefjorden (present day Norway). It shows a small crew of Dutchmen in their sailing boat attacking a huge, obviously doomed walrus. There are other walruses on the right, and two large sailing vessels in right background, while whales spout in far distance.
