WilliamBaffin sailed deeper into the Arctic than anyone else before him, this was in 1616. He also sailed to find the Northwest passage way in 1612... now you might know it as "Baffin Bay."
He did not intend to find the baffin bay but instead the nortwest passage. When he failed on finding the northwest passage he found the baffin bay.
