Captain Melgeuiro's supposed 1660 voyage from Japan and Bering's Sea westward through the entire passage to Spitzbergen, which is mentioned in the lede, is a tall tale with no real support from historical research or established science. I've never seen it mentioned in books about the history of polar exploration and I've read quite a few of those. The journey would have been impossible with the sailing ships and state of knowledge at the time, and it is telling that the supposed source (La Madelène's book) gives no information at all about what Melgueiro saw during his many months of sailing except an inacurate notice that the "coast of Greater Tartary" would reach 83 degrees north (same as the northern tip of Greenlsnd). Old books about the sea abound with fabrications and skipper's yarns like this one. Delete! 83.254.143.161 (talk) 22:06, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
