The Northwest Passage is a sea route that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It has historically been impassable due to sea ice, but with the melting of Arctic ice, the passage is becoming more accessible for navigation. It provides a shorter route for ships traveling between North America and Asia compared to the traditional route through the Panama Canal.
Giovanni Verrazzano's goal was to find a water route through North America to Asia, specifically to China. In 1524, he explored the east coast of North America searching for this passage, but he did not succeed in finding it.
Alexander Mackenzie's expedition in 1793 aimed to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean through North America. He hoped to establish a fur trade route through the continent, competing with the Hudson's Bay Company. Mackenzie successfully reached the Pacific Ocean, becoming the first European to cross North America north of Mexico.
The Northwest Passage was the direct water route through the Americas to Asia. This route was highly sought after by explorers in order to increase trade between countries in Europe and countries in Asia.
