Fury and Hecla were discovered by Sir William Edward Parry who led an expedition in the early 1800s with two Royal Navy vessels, the HMS Fury and HMS Hecla. The strait was found by Parry and his men in an attempt to navigate through to the Northwest Passage. While access is restricted by ice for most of the year, those who make the journey will find Inuit villages along the coast between Baffin Island and the Melville Peninsula.
