Captain Cook's second voyage lasted 3 years and 18 days. In that time he and his men sailed round the world, with only the wind to drive them.

They sailed from bitter cold to scorching heat. From icebergs to tropical beaches.

They discovered many new islands. They sailed further south than anyone before. They had many adventures.

But they did not find the
Great Southern Continent.

This map shows the route they took. Move your pointer to the numbers to find out more about the voyage.

It's a good idea to start at 1, like Captain Cook!
