All through July the Discovery picked her way along the 450-mile-long strait, avoiding ice and rocky islands.
On August 3, two massive headlands reared out of the mists -- great gateways never before, so far as Hudson knew, seen by Europeans.
To starboard was a cape a thousand feet high, patched with ice and snow, populated by thousands of screaming sea birds.
To port was a point 200 feet high rising behind to a precipice of 2,000 feet.
Hudson named the capes Digges and Wolstenholme, for two of his backers.
