He sailed around the world at the bottom of it, hunting a continent that was there and could not be reached. Cook's own account of the second voyage crosses the Antarctic Circle three times, kills off the myth of a habitable southern land, and comes home after three years with almost no scurvy aboard, which was the more remarkable achievement. The greatest navigator, in his own words.
