The largest island in Nunavut is Baffin Island, between the Canadian mainland and Greenland. It is part of the Queen Elizabeth Islands in the far north. Smaller islands include Southhampton, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and King William Islands. To the west, Nunavut shares Victoria Island and Melville Island with the Northwest Territories. Closer to the North Pole are Devon Island and Ellesmere Island, and other smaller islands such as Bathurst, Byam Martin, Bylot, Cornwallis, Axel Heiberg, Ellef Ringnes, and Somerset Islands.
Henry Hudson and Bylot sailed to the northern regions of North America, specifically exploring parts of what is now Canada and the Arctic. They were primarily searching for a northwest passage to Asia, aiming to find a more direct trade route. Their expeditions were sponsored by the English crown, with the hope of establishing trade routes and claims to new territories. Hudson's voyages ultimately contributed to European knowledge of the Arctic and the geography of North America.
Robert Bylot was an English explorer known for his expeditions in the Arctic during the early 17th century. His primary goals included finding a northeast passage to Asia, mapping uncharted territories, and gathering information about the geography and natural resources of the regions he explored. Bylot aimed to expand European knowledge of the Arctic and facilitate trade routes, reflecting the broader motivations of explorers during that era. His expeditions contributed to the understanding of the Arctic's complex landscapes and navigational challenges.
Devon Island was probably first sighted by Europeans in 1816 when Captain Robert Bylot and William Baffin explored the large bay that now bears the latter=s name. Since that time history has ebbed and flowed on these shores of rock and ice. They are uninhabited now, but there is much evidence of human habitation, albeit not continuous, dating from the Early Paleo-Eskimo stage of about 4500 years ago to the Thule Culture whale hunters who began to arrive as early as the year 1000.
He died sometime in the mid-17th century. He was a navigator with Henry Hudson on the 1611 voyage in which mutineers marooned Hudson in the Canadian Arctic. He was tried for mutiny but pardoned so that he could continue exploration of Northern Canada. Nothing is known about him after a 1615 voyage that proved there was no ice-free Northwest Passage in that era.
