THIS DAY IN HISTORY
-1642: Dutch navigator Abel Tasman becomes the first European explorer to sight the South Pacific island group now known as New Zealand. A few weeks earlier, Tasman had discovered Tasmania, off the southeast coast of Australia. Tasman had named the island Van Diemen's Land, but, like the Tasman Sea between New Zealand and Australia, it was later renamed Tasmania in the explorer's honor.
