Hudson sailed the artic ocean in search of a route to the east. true or false?

Yes it is true that Hudson sailed the arctic in search of a route to the east. He made two voyages in total via the arctic ocean. In the year 1609 Hudson was chosen by the Dutch East India Company to find an easterly path through the Arctic. The main target was finding a sea route to Asia. While Hudson was waiting for the supplies to fill his ship before sailing off, he heard rumors about a route that would take Hudson to the north of Russia via the arctic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean and ultimately to the far east. Although Hudson tried but the route was blocked due to ice and he could not complete the voyage.
