Abel Tasman was employed by the Dutch East India Company and ordered to explore the oceans of the south-east in order to find a new sea trade route to Chile in South America. Along the way, he explored Tasmania and New Zealand, but came to the incorrect conclusion that they were part of the same continent. He was also the first to explore the islands of Fiji.
