Jakob Roggeveen
Jakob Roggeveen was a Dutch explorer known for his discovery of Easter Island in 1722. He was the first European to visit the island, which he named 'Paaseiland' (Easter Island) because he arrived on Easter Sunday. Roggeveen's expedition aimed to find the legendary southern continent, and his encounter with the island's inhabitants and the monumental Moai statues left a lasting impact on the understanding of Pacific cultures and history.
