The explorer who died of smallpox was Henry Hudson. He is best known for his explorations of the Arctic and the waterways of North America in the early 17th century. Hudson met his end during a mutiny in 1611 when he and his crew were stranded in the Hudson Bay area, and while he was not directly killed by smallpox during his expedition, it was a common deadly disease that affected many explorers and indigenous populations during that era. His fate remains uncertain, as he and some crew members were never seen again after being set adrift.
