What did Amerigo find that Columbus did not?

Amerigo Vespucci found evidence that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus were part of a separate continent, which he referred to as the "New World." Unlike Columbus, who believed he had reached Asia, Vespucci's explorations and subsequent accounts helped to clarify that these were previously unknown territories to Europeans.
