During his 1553 voyage across the Barents Sea, English explorer Hugh Willoughby thought he saw islands to the north. Based on his description, these islands were subsequently depicted and named "Willoughby's Land" and "Macsinof Island" on maps published by Petrus Plancius in 1592 and 1594 (although he was doubtful of their existence). Gerardus Mercator included them on his 1595 map. Willem Barentsz found no sign of Willoughby's discoveries and omitted them from his map published in 1599, but they continued to appear on Arctic maps published by Jan Janssonius and Willem Blaeu at least into the 1640s. Macsinof Island also appears as Macsin or Matsyn Island.

  • Durante su viaje de exploración del año 1553 a través del mar de Barents, el explorador inglés Hugh Willoughby pensó haber visto islas al norte. Según su descripción, estas islas fueron posteriormente representadas y nombradas Tierra de Willoughby e isla Matsyn en mapas publicados por Petrus Plancius en 1592 y 1594 (aunque él dudaba de su existencia).​ Gerardus Mercator también los incluyó en su mapa de 1595. Willem Barents no llegaría a encontrar señales de los descubrimientos de Willoughby y los omitió de su mapa publicado en 1599, pero continuaron apareciendo en los mapas árticos publicados por Jan Janssonius y Willem Blaeu al menos hasta la década de 1640. La isla Matsyn también sería renombrada como isla Macsinof o isla Macsin. Una teoría propagada en 1612 sostenía que la Tierra de Willoughby era idéntica a la isla de Spitsbergen, una de las islas del archipiélago Svalbard, situada en la confluencia entre el océano Ártico, el mar de Barents y el mar de Groenlandia, lo que apoyaba así una afirmación inglesa anterior del descubrimiento holandés por Barentsz en 1596. Esta teoría se utilizó para justificar una carta de monopolio sobre los derechos de caza de ballenas concedida a la Compañía Muscovy en 1613.​ Georg Michael Asher (1860) creía que las dos islas eran simplemente una transposición occidental de las dos islas de Nueva Zembla, y vio una conexión entre la isla Matsyn y la isla de Matthew, uno de los primeros nombres que recibió la ahora conocida isla Séverny.​ (es)

Macsinof Island also appears as Macsin or Matsyn Island. A theory propagated in 1612 held that Willoughby's Land was identical to Spitsbergen, thus supporting an English claim prior to the Dutch discovery by Barentsz in 1596. This theory was used to justify a monopoly charter on whaling rights granted to the Muscovy Company in 1613. Asher (1860) believed the two islands to be merely a western transposition of the two islands of Novaya Zemlya, and he saw a connection between Matsyn Island and "Matthew's Island," an early name for Severny Island.
