Jacques Cartier's reason for exploring was that he wanted to find a Northwest route to India and the Spice Islands. During this endeavor, he discovered the Prince Edward Island. He also went on to explore parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1534. King Francis I authorized Jacques Cartier to undertake this voyage because the king also wanted to find gold and riches in this new land.
