Answer 1

This is what I found about Samuel Hearne :

Samuel Hearne, the first white man to reach the Arctic coast proving the Northwest Passage was only a myth.

Samuel Hearne has been credited with other accomplishments as well. They are:
Proving the myth of the Northwest Passage
The discovery of Great Slave Lake
The establishment of Cumberland House
Saving the Hudson's Bay Company from financial ruin and complete disaster
Presenting a panorama of the North and its nomadic inhabitants
Chronicling the life of the Chipewyan Indians (with truthfulness, sympathy and color), now almost extinct.

John Franklin:

Born on 16th April 1786 at Spilsbury, Lincolnshire, England and was the ninth of twelve children.

He entered the navy at 14 and saw his first active service a year later in the battle of Copenhagen.

His uncle was Matthew Flinders, and he served with him as a midshipman and chartmaker on the Investigator during its voyage of discovery and circumnavigation of Australia in 1801-1804.

Franklin assisted in charting the Great Australian Bight and the Gulf of Carpentaria. He was to say later that it was this voyage that kindled his interest and passion in exploration. After this voyage her returned to naval duties as a signal-midshipman on the Bellerophon, the most heavily engaged ship at the battle of Trafalgar.

For the three years after this event he studied geography and navigation ashore under the guidance of Matthew Flinders. He later served in the invasion fleet that carried General Sir Edward Pakenham from Jamaica to America and was slightly wounded at the Battle of New Orleans
