Who were the three people to search northwest passage and what they found?

Answer 1

The three notable explorers who searched for the Northwest Passage were John Cabot, Martin Waldseemüller, and Sir John Franklin. John Cabot, in 1497, was the first European to explore parts of North America, although he did not find the passage. Martin Waldseemüller later mapped the New World, contributing to the understanding of the geography surrounding the passage. Sir John Franklin led two expeditions in the 19th century but tragically disappeared; his later search revealed the harsh conditions and challenges of the Arctic, ultimately leading to the discovery of the passage in the early 20th century.
