In 1772, Captain Cook set sail to look for a “theorized great southern continent”. Although they could not manage to reach Antarctica owing to the ice, he predicted that if it did exist, it would have to be a wasteland. 6. In 1776, Captain cook started his third Pacific voyage, searching for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, he was killed in a dispute with Hawaiian nativesand his men’s attempt at the Northwest Passage was unsuccessful.
