Europeans were largely unaware of the existence of Australia and Antarctica before the Age of Exploration. While there were some earlier theories and myths about lands in the southern hemisphere, it wasn't until the 16th and 17th centuries that explorers began to map and document these continents. Australia was first sighted by Europeans in 1606, and Antarctica remained largely unknown until the early 19th century.
