ABSTRACT
Of Cape Svatoi Noss, the point gained by Sir Hugh Willoughby, and other places on the Lapland coast, Herberstein received an account from Gregory Istoma as well as from Vassily Vlassy and Demetrius Gerassimoff, but his version of their communication, which he entitles “The Voyage to the Sea, called the Icy or Frozen Sea,” differs so much from the original, that it is very difficult to recognise the places meant; on which account the narrative of our countrymen is much less highly appreciated than it deserves to be.
