Cook's chart of the Southern Hemisphere, marking his routes on his First and Second voyages, as well as those of Captains Furneaux, Carteret, Byron, Halley & Bouvet.

On his First Voyage Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia accurately for the first time; on his Second he circumnavigated the world as far south as possible, disproving the theory of a Great Southern Continent.
