Henry Hudson (nació el 12 de septiembre de 1565 en Londres - y murió el 22 de junio de 1611), fue un navegante y explorador inglés, famoso por haber realizado cuatro importantes viajes de exploración al Ártico. En 1607 hizo su primer viaje para la Compañía de Moscovia y alcanzó las costas de Groenlandia y las Svalbard, y descubrió la isla de Jan Mayen. El año siguiente, para la misma compañía, buscó el paso a la India, esta vez navegando a través de las islas de Nueva Zembla, por el mar de Barents pero fracasó. A su regreso, la Compañía de Moscovia desistió de seguir buscando el paso del Noroeste.

In 1607 he made his first voyage for the Muscovy Company and reached the coasts of Greenland and the Svalbard, and discovered the island of Jan Mayen. The following year, for the same company, he sought passage to India, this time sailing through the islands of Nova Scotia, through the Barents Sea but failed. Upon their return, the Muscovy Company gave up their search for the Northwest Passage.

Commanding a single vessel, the Hopewell, Hudson set out from the port of Gravesend with a crew consisting of his son and ten other sailors. As soon as he reached Greenland on June 13, Hudson headed north until he reached Prince Charles Island, after which he continued along the coast of Spitzberg and reached latitude 80 N, the closest point to the North Pole achieved until then. by the white man. Finding no way out to the west, Hudson decided to descend to more southerly positions and discovered the island of Jan Mayeu. Due to the problems arising from the low temperatures, Hudson had no choice but to return to England.
On April 22, 1608, Hudson repeated the expedition with the same ship and crew, but this time he chose a somewhat longer route: he sailed along the shores of Norway to the islands of New Zealand in the Barents Sea. Hudson returned to beat the mark of approach to the North Pole never achieved by any navigator. Overcome again by the cold, the fatigue and the discouragement of not having been able to find the route, Hudson undertook the return trip and arrived in England on August 26 of the same year.
He was fired from the English Muscovy Company, although his reports of the large numbers of whales he had observed during his travels encouraged the Dutch to plan the establishment of a whaling industry in the area. The Dutch West Indies Company proposed to Hudson to command an ambitious exploration trip through the area to seek the so-called Northwest Passage: a route that would connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by sea bordering the north of the American continent. Hudson also had to sound out the whaling business, the control of which the Dutch wanted to appropriate for the good profits it brought.
The Dutch equipped a 73-ton ship, the Half Moon, with everything necessary for such an undertaking, and provided it with a crew of twenty expert sailors, between the English and the Dutch, with whom Hudson prepared to set sail on March 25, 1609 Dutch port of Texel, bound for Nueva Zembla, where it arrived in mid-May.
