This circular map traces Captain Cook's icy, foggy route as he searched for the southern continent on his second voyage (1772-75). It was published in the January 1776 issue of Gentleman's Magazine. The HMS Resolution was not only the first ship to cross the Antarctic Circle, but it did so two more times on the same voyage. This voyage proved that Alexander Dalrymple's vast Terra Australis Incognita was a myth. Southern South America, the Cape of Good Hope, and New Zealand are all depicted.
