Mackenzie's expeditions were undertaken on behalf of the North West Fur Co. which was attempting to break through the Hudson Bay Company's monopoly, and were attended by many dangers from both nature and man. The main point of departure was Fort Chipewayan on Lake Athabasca, then called Lake of the Hills, whence he set out in 1789 for the Arctic Sea, and in 1792 for the Pacific. In both he reached his goal.
