                                        How did Henry Hudson change the world’s point of view?

Henry Hudson changed the world’s view and maps in many different ways. Something that changed the worlds map is that when he went to Spitsbergen there where huge ice flows that caused him to return back to England. It changed the worlds map because if other explores went to Spitsbergen they would know to watch out for the huge ice flows. Another thing that changed the maps that there were also whales in Spitsbergen. The reason that would be helpful to know, is because people back then would hunt whales for their blubber which would supply oil for things like ships and other things. Something that would also change the map is that Holland claimed America. So if you looked at one of their maps, you would see America and Holland written together because Holland owned America back then. When a country explores finds land it would become their land.
