He made four trips to the Indies - the name of the American continent until the publication of Martin Waldseemüller's Planisphere in 1507 - and although he was not possibly the first European explorer of America, he is considered the discoverer of a new continent - hence the name of the New World - for Europe, being the first to trace a round-trip route across the Atlantic Ocean and released the news.
