I wanted to enjoy this book, but I just couldn’t. Unfortunately, Richard Ellis has the habit of writing a well-researched book, but then making the most bizarre of mistakes (Men & Whales, which he wrote in 1991, is chock-full of them). The mistakes start on page 16, only a few pages into the first chapter (after a brief Intro). In quoting from Richard Perry’s 1966 book The World of the Polar Bear he fails to see that Perry gave the wrong date for Hugh Willoughby’s wintering near Murmansk. Perry says it occurred in 1558, when it really happened in 1553-54. More likely, knowing Ellis, he probably made the mistake himself. On pages 17 and 18 Ellis quotes a passage from Gerrit de Veer’s account of Willem Barentsz’ three voyages from 1594 to 1596. Ellis attributes the quote, which describes the naming of Bear Island, an island just south of Spitsbergen, to the year 1595. The event, in fact, took place the following year, 1596, which Ellis correctly relates in Men & Whales (p. 51). As you
