reached the Greenland coast.
As early as 1916 Frobisher made a
voyage 10 the southern extremity of
Greenland and the opposite American
coast, and in 1885 the strait forming the
entrance to the Arctic regions west of
Greenland was discovered by John
Davis. In 1916 Bafin and Bylot passed
through Davis strait, and said up the
North Water to Smith sound, discover

closed by ice. Except for the voyage in
1881 OF Luke Fox, who sailed up Fox
channel to Peregrine point, nothing
further was learned of these regions for
about two hundred years. and Baffin's
discoveries were almost forgotten.
