		Bellingshausen's diary, his report to the Russian Naval Minister on 21 July 1821 and other documents, available in the Russian State Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic in Saint Petersburg, Russia, were carefully compared with the log-books of other claimants by the British polar historian A. Jones in his 1982 study 'Antarctica Observed'.
		Jones concluded that Bellingshausen, rather than the Royal Navy's Edward Bransfield on 30 January 1820 or the American Nathaniel Palmer on 17 November 1820, was indeed the discoverer of the sought-after Terra Australis.
		During the voyage Bellingshausen also visited the South Shetland Islands, and discovered and named Peter I, Zavodovski, Leskov and Visokoi Islands, and a peninsula of the Antarctic mainland which he named the Alexander Coast but which has more recently borne the designation of Alexander Island.

		South Georgia and its associated islands, wich consist of the island of South Georgia Island, which is by far the largest island in the territory, the islands that immediately surround the main island of South Georgia and some remote and isolated islets west and east-southeast of the main island of South Georgia Island.
		To the northwest of Zavodovski Island is the Protector Shoal, a submarine volcano.
		The islands have large bird and seal populations, and, recognizing the importance of preserving the marine stocks in adjacent waters, the UK, in 1993, extended the exclusive fishing zone from 12 nm to 200 nm around each island.

	Antarctic Explorers: Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen
		Arriving back in Sydney in September, Bellingshausen was notified by the Russian consul that an English sealing captain named William Smith had discovered a group of islands on the 67th parallel, which he called the South Shetlands, and had proclaimed them to be part of the Antarctic continent.
		Bellingshausen immediately decided to take a look for himself with the major motive of finding a way to continue further south.
		Bellingshausen continued to serve his country for another 30 years, attaining the rank of Admiral.

	Antarctic Time Line of Discovery
		Unfortunately, their ship Antarctic was crushed in the ice pack after leaving the crew on the island thereby creating two separate groups of explorers.
		Miraculously, the second crew was able to survive the winter and find their way back to Snow Hill Island where the whole party was rescued in 1903 by an Argentinean relief ship.
		Unfortunately, they made land on the wrong side of the island and Shackleton, Tom Crean and Frank Worsley had to cross the island through difficult terrain to reach the whaling station at Stromness.

	Bellingshausen Island
		The island is 1.7 km north-south and 1.2 km east-west.
		Though undated, the morphology suggests Bellingshausen is one of the most recent volcanoes to have developed in the South Sandwich Islands.
		Uninhabited, the Island was visited by scientific expeditions in 1930 and 1964.

	Antarctica
		This island was chosen because a snowy ramp led up to the long sloping glacier giving the necessary access to the six thousand foot high plateau dividing the Antarctic Peninsula north and south to the mainland.
		The island is home to more than 100,000 pairs of chinstrap penguins as well as a century-old abandoned whaling station that was fascinating to explore.
		On Cuverville Island, we came across a large colony of nesting gentoo penguins and, after seeing how docile and accepting they were in our presence, I appreciated the efforts of our able and energetic expedition leader, Hayley Shephard, in ensuring that no passenger approached the birds too closely.
