Tasman
Dutch explorer. In the service of the Dutch E. India Co., he made exploratory and trading voyages to E. and S.E. Asia 1634-39. In 1642 he was sent by A. van Diemen, to find the hypothetical S continent of the Pacific and a possible route to Chile. Sailing from Batavia (modern Jakarta), he reached 49\u00b0 S at 94\u00b0 E, then turned north and discovered land he named Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), then sailed along the coast of New Zealand, believing it to be the S continent. He also discovered Tonga and the Fiji Islands. On his next voyage (1644) he sailed into the Gulf of Carpentaria and along the N and W coasts of Australia.
