Who was David Melgueiro?
David Melgueiro is supposed to be a Portuguese navigator and explorer. Several sources state that he sailed across the Northeast Passage in 1660, travelling from Japan to Portugal through the Arctic Ocean. This issue aroused strong polemics along the time. It is still unclear if this is Truth or legend.
However, the possibility of navigation between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans across the Arctic is, nowadays and for the future, a crucial point in politics, climate oceanography and environment questions.
