James Cook was a British explorer, navigator and captain famous for his explorations of the Pacific Ocean and his mapping of New Zealand and eastern Australia. Over the course of three voyages between 1768-1779, Cook mapped much of the Pacific, including New Zealand, Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. His voyages provided the first accurate charts of the region and helped change European understanding of world geography. Cook's expeditions also had significant impacts, introducing diseases to native populations while establishing trade routes and introducing Western goods.

resources or foods that can be introduce in their
home land and also explorer can introduce their
own goods to the new land and trade with the
aborigines.
