A world map includes the outlines of the continents and shows the routes taken by early explorers from five highlighted European countries. The map includes outlines and labels for North America, South America, Greenland, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The countries of England, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands are highlighted. A key shows different line patterns for each country of origin of the explorers. The first country listed on the key is Spain. The map shows that the explorer Dias sailed from Spain in year 1487, heading southward, then following the western coast of Africa, stopping at the tip. Explorer Da Gama sailed from Spain in year 1497. His route was south over the Atlantic Ocean toward South America, then eastward to Africa, around the tip and across the Indian Ocean to the southern tip of India. The second pattern on the key shows Verrazzano sailing from France in year 1524, first southward along the coast of Portugal, and then westward across the Atlantic Ocean to the southeastern coast of North America, turning northward along the East Coast of the present day United States. Columbus traveled from Portugal in year 1492, heading slightly south from Portugal and then westward across the Atlantic Ocean, circling the islands in between North and South America, then back to Portugal on a route north of his first crossing. Magellan also sailed from Portugal. His route in years 1519 to 1520 shows him heading southwest to South America, then following the coast down to the tip. A route dated year 1521 shows Magellan crossing the Pacific Ocean westward, reaching the islands in between Southeast Asia and Australia. John Cabot traveled from England in year 1497, crossing the Atlantic Ocean westward directly to North America. Also shown from England are routes taken by Hudson, first in year 1607 to Greenland and the northern islands in the Arctic Ocean above Europe. In year 1608 Hudson sailed to islands north of Europe. In year 1609, Hudson traveled to the eastern coast of North America. Hudson also sailed from the Netherlands in 1610, crossing the Atlantic Ocean south of Greenland and continuing into the northern waterways of North America, then down into present day Hudson Bay, which is not labeled. A scale shows 2000 miles and 2000 kilometers.
