Sir William Parry joined the Royal Navy at the age of 12 and was a pioneer of exploration for the North West Passage. The following is an extract from the Canadian Dictionary of biography on line. " As an explorer and navigator in the Arctic, Sir William Edward Parry ranks in importance with Captain James Cook and Sir James Clark Ross. He was the first explorer to penetrate the Arctic archipelago and open the passage through Lancaster Sound, Barrow Strait, and Viscount Melville Sound that subsequent expeditions would follow. Furthermore, he was the first to winter in the high Arctic deliberately and, through his experience, he developed techniques necessary for survival in these difficult conditions. Although his participation in Arctic exploration ended in 1827, he maintained a lively interest in the Admiralty’s projects in this region and late in 1848 he was called upon to advise the Admiralty, as a member of the Arctic Council, on the measures to be taken in search of Sir John Franklin’s expedition, lost in the Arctic since 1845. Parry’s contribution to the exploration of the Arctic is recognized in the number of geographical features that bear his name.
