Which explorers attempted to find a northwest passage?

Answer 1

Several explorers sought a northwest passage to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, including John Cabot in the late 15th century, Martin Waldseemüller in the early 16th century, and Sir Martin Frobisher in the 1570s. Notably, Henry Hudson, in the early 17th century, made significant attempts during his expeditions. Later, explorers like James Cook and John Franklin also pursued this elusive route, although it was ultimately not navigated until the 20th century due to the challenging Arctic conditions.
