The Northeast Passage, which runs along the northern coast of Russia, has faced challenges that hinder its success as a major shipping route. These include unpredictable ice conditions, limited infrastructure, and geopolitical tensions in the region. While climate change has opened up the passage during certain months, the risks associated with navigating the route, coupled with environmental concerns and the need for reliable support services, have kept it from being a viable alternative to traditional shipping lanes. Consequently, it remains underutilized despite its potential advantages.
In 1878 Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld became the first to complete the Northeast Passage without overwintering.

"The Northeast Passage"
Jacques Marquette
He found the northeast passage and some gold treasures.
Explorers couldn't continue looking for a Northeast Passage through the Arctic due to harsh weather conditions, thick sea ice blocking passage, and limited technology at the time. These challenges made it dangerous and difficult to navigate the icy waters effectively.
