notes:
This map shows the farthest west that Parry sailed on this expedition. William Parry's first independent expedition to find a northwest passage left in 1819 to try to meet John Franklin coming over land. His ships were the first British ones to enter the Arctic Archipelago, and he was the first to reach 110o W longitude. He stayed on Melville Island (named for Viscount Melville) until August 1, 1820, sailed a little farther south and west, then returned to England. He proved that it was possible to winter over in the Arctic and showed that one would have to navigate through an archipelago to find a northwest passage. The second expedition left in April of 1821; two winters were passed in the Arctic and much knowledge of the Inuit was gained, but ice blocked any discovery of a passage.
