They both wanted to find the north way passage.
Cartier was looking for a northwest passage to Asia, hoping to find a more direct route for trade. Hudson was seeking a shorter route to Asia and was exploring in search of a passage through North America. Both expeditions were driven by a desire to find new trade routes and potentially discover new lands.
Cartier and Hudson explored far north in search of a Northwest Passage to Asia, a direct route for trading in valuable goods. They also sought new territories to claim for their respective countries, France and England. Additionally, there was a desire to discover new lands, resources, and potential trade opportunities.
Russia claimed land in the far north of North America, specifically in present-day Alaska, by establishing colonies and trading outposts in the 18th century. It wasn't until 1867 that Russia sold Alaska to the United States in what became known as the Alaska Purchase.
Turkey is directly north of Iraq.

Because they want to!
Cartier explored much of the Gulf of St Lawrence and also explored the St Lawrence River as far as present day Montreal.
Henry Hudson was exploring the New World to locate among other things, a passage to the Far East. He traveled up a large river later known the Hudson River. The river was named after him. Upon sailing up this river he discovered that it was not a passage to the far east.
Spanish and he didn't really explore North America. He only got as far as Cuba, so he never set foot on North America itself. This is a fallacy that he "discovered" America.
He became famous because he sailed from Quebec all the way to what we call today the Hudson river.
As far as we know his full name was Jacques Cartier.
Jacques Cartier explored and charted the St Lawrence River, as far upstream as the Lachine Rapids at Montreal. His discovery of the Lachine Rapids proved that there was not a passage to China which ran through North America.
Jacques Cartier was an early European explorer of the New World. Like many explorers of their day, they pursued a strategy of finding a shorter passage way to the riches of the Far East. Henry Hudson, as one example did the same thing. Hudson at first believed the river named after him was a passage to the East. In the early 1500's Cartier ventured under the flag of France and believed he found a way to Asia. This of course was impossible so he did help France establish colonies in the New World.
