The Northwest Passage from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean that Lewis and Clark sought after on the discovery corps expedition does not exist. However, there is "a sea route through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways amidst the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.[1][2] The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages." -http://en.wikipedia.org/
