The author describes the harsh conditions of the region, including the extreme cold, the treacherous ice, and the dangerous wildlife.Baffin's accounts also offer insights into the interactions between the English explorers and the indigenous peoples they encountered, including the Inuit and the Greenlanders. The book provides a unique perspective on the early exploration of the Arctic, and the challenges faced by those who sought to navigate its icy waters.Overall, The Voyages of William Baffin, 1612-1622 is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a little-known period of Arctic exploration, and the contributions of one of its most important figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
