Hugh Willoughby and Richard Chancellor were English explorers who undertook significant voyages in the 1550s aimed at finding a northeastern passage to Asia. In 1553, Willoughby led an expedition that ultimately ended in tragedy when his ship became trapped in ice near the White Sea, leading to his death and that of his crew. Chancellor, on the other hand, successfully reached Russia and established trade relations with the Tsardom of Russia, returning to England with valuable information and goods, thus paving the way for future Anglo-Russian commerce. Their voyages marked early attempts to expand English trade routes and influence in the Arctic and beyond.
