What explorer has a river, bay, and strait named after him?
If you're curious about which explorer has a river, bay, and strait all named after him, the answer is Henry Hudson. This intrepid Englishman embarked on several voyages in the early 17th century in search of a Northwest Passage, a water route connecting Europe and Asia. Although he never found this mythical passage, his explorations left a significant mark on North American geography.
Hudson's explorations led him to navigate what is now known as the Hudson River. He sailed up the river as far north as present-day Albany, New York, mistakenly believing it could be a gateway to Asia. Additionally, the vast body of water known as Hudson Bay, along Canada's eastern coast, is named after him. He reached this bay through a waterway now called Hudson Strait, further solidifying his place on the map. Despite not achieving his initial goal, Henry Hudson's voyages contributed greatly to European understanding of North American waterways and coastlines.
