Mackenzie Reaches the Pacific

Alexander Mackenzie’s party reached the Pacific via the Bella Coola River, the first explorer to complete the journey overland. Though a physical triumph, Mackenzie's achievement failed to provide the fur traders with a viable route. In 1789 the explorer travelled down the Mackenzie River and reached the Arctic Delta.
