Humanity has explored the Earth from time immemorial.
This book describes life in a special era in its history — the Age of Discovery, when European navigators and explorers rushed to discover the world.
They sailed around Africa to India, reached North and then South America; made a round-the-world trip; discovered Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania; explored Siberia and the many seas and archipelagos of the Arctic Ocean … and finally completed this successful race of great discoveries by finding Kamchatka, Alaska, California, and the Hawaiian Islands.
