'Voyage Towards the South Pole and Round the World Volume 2' Summary
Volume 2 of 'Voyage Towards the South Pole and Round the World' documents James Cook's return journey from the Pacific Ocean to England.

He charts a course through the Friendly Islands (now Tonga), Easter Island, Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. Continuing his journey, Cook circumnavigates Cape Horn, discovers the uncharted South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, and refits in Cape Town before finally returning home.
