	Anthony van Diemen Summary
		Van Diemen's most brilliant achievements were his successful struggle against the Portuguese in Ceylon and Malacca, the signing of advantageous treaties with Acheh in northern Sumatra and with Ternate and Tidore in the Moluccas, particularly in connection with the spice trade, and the establishment of trade relations with China, Japan, and Tonkin.
		Anthony van Diemen (1593–1645), or Antonius, Dutch colonial governor, was born in Culemborg in the Netherlands, the son of Bartholomeus van Diemen and Elisabeth Hoevenaar.
		The name of Van Diemen's Land had acquired such odium that when it became a self-governing colony in 1855, one of the first acts of the new legislature was to change its name to Tasmania.

	Cape Maria van Diemen at AllExperts
		Cape Maria van Diemen is the westernmost point of the North Island of New Zealand.
		Being close to the northern tip of the Aupouri Peninsula, many people in New Zealand also incorrectly believe it to be the northernmost point (that title goes to the Surville Cliffs, 30 kilometres to the east and slightly further north).
		The cape was named by Abel Tasman after the wife of his patron, Anthony van Diemen, Governor General of Batavia (now Jakarta) in January 1643, on the same voyage of discovery during which he named Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).

		He was beginning to think he might have not one, but two capes to contend with at the end of the narrow peninsula, but despite the fearful winds and seas, his reckonings were filling in the puzzle.
		Tasman's Cape Maria van Diemen was a bit west, he found, at 34º30'Sand 187º18'W; again he was wrong by 2' south and 4' or 3.99 miles east.
		At Cape Reinga (near Cape Maria van Diemen) the shadow left the body at death to enter the path of shining light that leads to the spirit world whence none returns.

	Igneous Petrology I - Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology [V]
		Cape Maria van Diemen consists primarily of basaltic and basaltic-andesite lavas with lesser course grained equivalents and basaltic dyke sequences.
		To the south and east of Cape Maria van Diemen are small outcrops of basalt that appear geochemically to be Tangihua Complex lavas with both juvenile arc and back-arc signatures.
		It may be that the island arc tholeiite samples at North Cape represent Miocene arc volcanism postdating ophiolite emplacement, however currently it is possible only to say that the North Cape lavas are distinctly different from the other Far North lavas.
