Best Answer

In 1607 he sailed closer to the North Pole than any other explorer of his time, looking for the Northwest Passage to the Far East. On his fourth journey in 1610 he explored an icy strait, and sighted a large body of water that he thought was the Pacific Ocean, it was actually Hudson Bay.
