In 1819, the Russian sailors FF Bellingshausen and MP Lazarev on the military sloops "Vostok" and "Mirny" visited South Georgia and tried to penetrate into the depths of the South Arctic Ocean. For the first time, on January 28, 1820, almost on the Greenwich meridian, they reached 69 ° 21 ′ S. sh. and discovered, in fact, modern Antarctica (Bellingshausen ice shelf); then, going beyond the Arctic Circle, Bellingshausen walked along it to the east until 19 ° E. d., where he crossed it again and reached in February 1820 again almost the same latitude (69 ° 6 ′).
