In search of the new continent

1. James Cook, the English explorer, wrote in 1775: "I can be bold enough to say that no man will ever venture farther than I have done; and that the lands which may lie to the south will never be explored". After repeated attempts to break through the floes beyond 71° South, has ship "Resolution" was forced to re­turn to the more hospitable northern latitudes.

2 Almost half a century later, in 1820 there appeared in the sinister waters of the Polar Atlantic two ships flying the Russian flag. The "Vostok" and the "Mirny" under the command of Captain Faddei Bellingshausen were ordered "to keep as far South as pos sible", "to exert every effort and do everything possible while discovering unknown lands and not to give up "this enterprise unless con­fronted by unsurmoutable obstacles".

3 The Russian vessels sailed from Kronstadt, visited Denmark, England, the Canary Islands and Brazil and then entered unknown re gions. According to the expeditions diary, the very first giant iceberg they met with "amazed everyone".

4 Even if one must discount the discovery of the new continent by Belling­shausen and Lazarev, since its existence was scientifically proved many years after them, they deserve credit for being the first after Cook to sail beyond the Antarctic Circle.
