William Edward Parry's "Second voyage for the discovery of a north-west passage," during the years 1821 to 1823, took him to the shores of Melville Peninsula in Canada's Eastern Arctic. The expedition spent its first winter on a small island east of Repulse Bay, appropriately named Winter Island by Parry. The second winter was passed on Igloolik Island at the eastern end of an ice-strewn strait separating the north shore of Melville Peninsula from Baffin Island. Parry was to name this strait "Fury and Hecla" in commemoration of the two ships then under his command. In terms of its stated exploration goal - the discovery of a northern sea route from the Atlantic to the Pacific - the voyage was a failure. .
