Twee schepen tussen de torossen in de Karazee before 1886

"Twee schepen tussen de torossen in de Karazee" is a photographic print by H. Ekama, dating from before 1886. The image captures two ships sailing amidst a vast and seemingly desolate landscape. The ships appear small against the horizon, highlighting the vastness of the Kara Sea. The photograph is part of a larger collection documenting the "De Nederlandsche Noord-Pool-Expeditie," or the Dutch North Polar Expedition, which took place between 1882 and 1883. Ekama's work offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by the expedition and the remarkable landscapes they encountered. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery.
