Baffin Island
Answer
Baffin Island was the first landmass Frobisher encountered on his maiden voyage in 1576. He mistook it for the legendary Northwest Passage and claimed it for England, naming it "Meta Incognita." However, subsequent expeditions revealed that Baffin Island was not connected to the mainland and did not provide a route to Asia.
