People did not know if it existed. That is why explorers went in search of it.
It was not made up, it was speculation.
the answer is Henry Hudson. i looked up in freaking book.
I don't no if I got this correct. But by northwest passage i assume you mean the waters in Canada's north. If i assume that, there is no mountain range that blocks the area. I think the ice pack that is frozen year round is blocking this. As a result of global warming however, this ice pack is melting. So in the near future maybe a northwest passage can actually open up.
Henry Hudson did,he sailed up the Hudson river to find a water way to China.
The north west passage was supposedly a water route that goes through the current day United States all the way to Asia. that was the principal goal of Lewis and Clark's expedition. although they never found it they had been the first people to travel all the way west into current day California. To summarise, the north west passage was made up and doesn't exist.
European explorers believed that the Northwest Passage would take them to Asia and the Spice Islands for the purpose of setting up lucrative trade routes. They thought that this water route would be a more direct and faster route.
Fiction is made up. Nonfiction is true. Historical fiction is based on stuff that actually happened but the story is made up.
the northwest passage is a famous sea route linking the Atlantic and pacific oceans.Actually your answer is not even close to being right the definition of the northwest passage is- A water route to Asia through the cold waters present day canada. I cant belive i no this by heart and im only in 7th grade but i am learning from a 10th grade book dont belive me the look up this book and the reading leval and questions leaval the book is called PRENTICE HAll UNited States History Discovery education ^_^haha
The Northwest Passage starts in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically near the eastern coast of Canada, and generally begins around the Strait of Belle Isle. It traverses through the Arctic Archipelago, passing through various channels and straits, and ultimately ends in the Bering Strait, connecting to the Pacific Ocean. This route has historically been sought after for its potential as a shipping passage between Europe and Asia.
In North America, early explorers thought the St. Lawrence River was a passage to the Pacific, China Seas and the Indies, which they later found it was not. Others went north to find a northern passage west, (Northwest Passage), up near Hudson Bay and Baffin Island. To the south, there was a river now known as the Suez Canal.

Stories that are made up are fictional.
