Title | View of the Ice Islands as seen in Cook’s Second Voyage on Jan. 9. 1773. |
View shows how James Cook first encountered icebergs on his second voyage on the 51st parallel (South Atlantic) on January 9, 1773. This was about five degrees south than the mainland discovered by Bouvet. Not seeing the Bouvet Island, Cook assumed that Bouvet had mistaken an iceberg for mainland. | |
