Great Barrier Reef Discovered by Captain Cook
On June 11, 1770, during his voyage of discovery, Captain James Cook's ship, HMS Endeavour, ran aground on a shoal off the coast of Queensland, Australia. This incident led to Cook's crew discovering what is now known as the Great Barrier Reef. This vast coral reef system is the world's largest, spanning over 2,300 kilometers, and is home to immense biodiversity, making it a critical marine ecosystem.
