During this trip he made the first accurate maps of New Zealand's coastline and the first European landing in east Australia in 1770. During 1772-75 he tried to find a legendary southern continent,becoming the first person to cross the Antarctic Circle. However,further travel south was soon halted by pack ice. In his third voyage (1776-79) he tried to find the Northwest passage,a navigable route around Canada. During this voyage he discovered the Hawaiian islands but was later killed by the natives there.
