Europeans during the Middle Ages were only aware of the 3 connected continents they were part of: Europe, Asia, and Africa. they had no knowledge of what is now referred to as the Western Hemisphere, nor of the islands of the Pacific. Voyages of discovery where they encountered the Americas and Australia did not occur until the Renaissance and Antarctica was even later.
