A highly important map regarding the early search for a Northeast Passage. This remarkable map was drawn in 1601 by Theodore de Bry to describe the ill fated third voyage of the Dutch explorer William Barentsz in search of the Northeast Passage. The map depicts the Island of Nova Zemba, or Novaya Zemlya, in the Russian Arctic along with two stunning compass roses, numerous rhumb lines, and a multitude of seals and sea monsters. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries the concept of a Northeast Passage through the Arctic to Asia held the same significance as North America's Northwest Passage. The nations of Northern Europe, particularly Russia and Holland, were eager to find an easy route to Asia via the Arctic in order to access the lucrative trade with China and India. Barentsz's first expedition in 1594, in which he discovered Novaya Zemlya and a number of other Arctic Islands, was widely publicized in Europe and led to the assumption that a Northwest Passage may indeed be feasible. His second voyage, 1595, was considered a truncated failure due to inclement weather and ice packs in the Kara Sea. A year later, his third voyage in 1596 was a utter disaster. Our map details Barentsz's route as he passes north of Finland and thus into the Russian Arctic. On a darker note, Nova Zembla, or more appropriately in this case Novaya Zemlya, was also the site of Russian nuclear testing during the Cold War. The world's largest above ground nuclear detonation, the 50 megaton Tsar Bomba, exploded here n 1961. Drawn by Gerhardo de Veer, a survivor of all three of Barentsz's expeditons, and published c. 1601 by Theodore de Bry in the third issue of the first Latin edition of Grands et Petits Voyages .

Good quality, lotsa fun
Not easy to find a sturdy toy for a minipoodle that loves to play rough with his toy. He has not been able to break this into pieces and that feels reassuring that I don't have to worry about little pieces and choking. These things bounce funny and my boy loves playing with it

Necessary for a small dog.
These are great for a small dog! They can get their mouth around it unlike a round ball. My dog is obsessed with these. They are great for making him love a new guest to the house. All they have to do is squeak and throw the toy and they have a new friend!

Great for little dogs but squeaker breaks too easily
My Maltese is about 4.5 pounds and absolutely loves these! He got very excited to play with it right away. The shape is like a slightly flattened ball which is great bc he can pick it up in his tiny mouth. It’s actually quite cute to see him run with it back to me. When you throw it, the way it bounces and rolls is very unpredictable, which I think adds to the fun. Sometimes my pup drops it while running back and it goes rolling or awkwardly bouncing away from him which causes him to get more excited to chase it and grab it again. It’s been a highly entertaining toy for almost a week straight. The only downside is that the squeaker in it isn’t very durable. After a few days of playing and chewing to squeak it himself, the squeaker barely makes any noise. My pup isn’t an aggressive chewer at all so if your dog is an aggressive chewer, the squeaker really will not last.

G for small dogs
My Havanese absolutely loves these small toys, which we refer to as pucks. They are the perfect size for him. His previous favorite was a small green pig, but ever since we purchased these for his second birthday, he has shown no interest in the pig. They are easy to throw and fit comfortably in his mouth. I plan to purchase more. I would not recommend for strong chewers. My only complaint is I wish they all had happy or crazy faces instead of angry or sad ones.
