Captain James Cook did not actually explore or set foot on Antarctica.
His connection with the continent was the fact that he became the first known European to cross the Antarctic Circle when he was sent again to discover if another great land lay east of Australia, in 1773 and again in 1774. Pack ice and the solid freezing of the ship's sails prevented further exploration of the region.
