Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, is best known for his explorations of Canada in the 16th century. He made three voyages to North America, primarily exploring the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River, where he claimed the land for France. Cartier's expeditions laid the groundwork for future French colonization in Canada, particularly in the areas that would become Quebec. His encounters with Indigenous peoples and mapping of the region were significant in the history of exploration in North America.
