OTD in 1772, #CaptainCook began his 40-day search in the South Atlantic near 60⁰S for the land seen by the French navigator #Bouvet. The Admiralty had instructed Cook: If you discover Cape Circumcision, you are to satisfy yourself whether it is a part of that #SouthernContinent.

OTD in 1769, #CaptainCook landed in #NewZealand, which many European #cartographers believed was joined to the legendary #SouthernContinent (#Antarctica). Then #CooksEndeavour #circumnavigated the archipelago, proving it was not part of #TerraAustralis, disappointing #JosephBanks

OTD in 1769, #CooksENDEAVOUR reaches 40°22’S below #Tahiti in the search for the #SouthernContinent. #CaptainCook turns away ‘having not the least visible signs of land” and heads for #NewZealand. Success comes on his #SecondVoyage when he “firmly believes” he’s seen #Antarctica.

OTD in 1643 the Dutch #VOC mariner #AbelTasman returned to #Batavia after circumnavigating #Australia, proving it wasn’t joined to the legendary #SouthernContinent. He named it #NewHolland, which it held for 200 years until the name was erased, along with lots of Dutch history.

#Australia at the #SouthPole in 1545 The #SouthernContinent has its classic name in this #woodcut map by cartographer J.Honter. Then “Australia” was nicked by #NewHolland in the early #C19th #Penguins protested 🐧🐧🐧so the nameless #continent was renamed #Antarctica in the 1890s
