Answer: Canada

The Northwest Passage is the sailing route along the north of Canada and Alaska between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. It was much searched for by English and other sailors around 1600, but it was only actually navigated in 1906 by the Norseman Roald Amundsen (who also was the first man to go to the South Pole a few years later). With the shrinking of the Arctic ice fields through global warming, it might become a viable route to transport Alaskan oil to eastern North America and Europe in the near future.
