notes:
La Martinière signed on as ship's surgeon to a fleet of trading ships sent by Fredrik III of Denmark in 1670. The hope was to discover what kind of trade could be had with the indigenous peoples of Norway, Lapland, etc. La Martinière's account stressing the strange and superstitious characters of the people is probably quite imaginative. He states that on his return he looked at maps of where he had been and was surprised that they placed the North Pole and Greenland so far away from Novaya Zemlya.
