Where did Abel Tasman go on his first voyage?

Abel Tasman's first voyage, which took place between 1642 and 1643, was primarily aimed at exploring the southern continent, believed to be rich in resources. He sailed from the Netherlands and reached the coast of Tasmania, which he named Van Diemen's Land, before continuing to New Zealand. Tasman also made landfall at various points in the islands of the South Pacific, mapping parts of these regions and contributing to European knowledge of the area.
