On the second of his three great voyages, Cook took on the most frightening of all his challenges - to travel as far south as possible, to regions never before explored, in the hope of finding a new great continent which could be settled by the British. He found the continent - but it was horrifically different from what had been hoped for. (Goodreads synopsis)Burying the bottle, James Cook wondered if it would ever be found. He was leaving New Zealand on a search for the great Southern Continent and knew he faced unimaginable dangers in his small ship. Embarking on his second loop of the south Pacific, Cook was to encounter huge icebergs and erupting volcanoes, trade and battle with natives, and discover a new but terrible continent never charted before.
