(He completed the first successful navigation of the Northeast Passage on the Vega, 1879-1880.) This, his most substantial monograph on the history of early cartography, was systematic and influential. His personal collection of early maps was given to the University of Helsinki, and has been inscribed on UNESCO's memory of the World Register.
