What did Dutch explorers discover? I need it for a school test.

Among the
most important Dutch explorers were:

• Willem
  Barentsz (1550-1597). Searched for the northeast passage above Siberia.
  Discovered Bear Island (1594).
• Henry Hudson
  (1565-1611). Explored Chesapeake Bay and discovered the Hudson River (1609) and claimed New
  Amsterdam (Manhattan Island) for the Dutch.
• Willem
  Janszoon (1571-1638). First European to set foot on Australia (1606).


• Abel Tasman (1603-1659). Discovered the island of
  Tasmania (1642) and was the first European to sight New Zealand. He visited the Fiji Islands and
  mapped areas of Australia.
• Dirck Hartog. The
  first explorer to map areas of Western Australia (1616).
