The Northwest Passage is a sea route through the Arctic Ocean and the northern islands of Canada. The passage is seldom open water because of the floating pack ice that fills the arctic waters. But large icebreaker ships can use the passage for at least part of the summer months.

The search for a Northwest Passage claimed the lives of several early explorers including Henry Hudson, for whom Hudson Bay is named.
