"Three Voyages for the Discovery of a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific" by William Edward Parry is a true story about daring trips to the Arctic in the 1800s. It tells about the tough times Parry and his team had while trying to find a way through the ice to reach the Pacific Ocean. The book also shares stories about meeting and interacting with the local Esquimaux people, along with finding new places and learning new things about the world. The story kicks off by talking about leaving Winter Island and running into some Esquimaux people on the second trip. Parry vividly describes sailing through dangerous, icy waters and how the ship fought to move north, even when things got hard. By giving lots of information about the ice, the people they met, and what they did each day, Perry creates an exciting story of adventure. Parry's writing shows not just the hard journey, but also how people survived, worked together, and learned from other cultures during these amazing trips to unknown lands.
