  Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen Information
Fabian Gottlieb Thaddeus von Bellingshausen (Russian: Фаддей Фаддеевич Беллинсгаузен; Faddey Faddeyevich Bellinsgauzen) (September 20, 1778–January 13, 1852) served as a naval officer of the Russian Empire and commanded the second Russian expedition to circumnavigate the globe.
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.

 Antarctica - Crystalinks
Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ("Southern Land") go back to antiquity, the first sighting of the continent is commonly accepted to have occurred in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Mikhail Lazarev and Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen.
The continent was largely neglected in the 19th century because of its hostile environment, lack of resources, and isolated location.The Antarctic Treaty, which was signed in 1959 by 12 countries and prohibits any military activity, supports scientific research, and protects the continent's ecozone.
On that day the expedition led by Fabian von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev on two ships reached a point within 32 km (20 miles) of the Antarctic mainland and saw ice fields there.

 The Bellingshausen Sea
Bellingshausen Sea is located between Thurston Island on the West and the Antarctic Peninsula on the East.
In younger history, the ice extent in the Bellingshausen Sea decreased at a rate of roughly 8 percent per decade.
This may suggest that the ice cover lost in the Bellingshausen Sea has actually migrated to the Ross Sea and reflects the large changes in the physical characteristics of the ice cover in this region.

Inspired by Cook's southern expeditions, Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen led voyages to further explore the southern oceans and land masses.
In 1819, Bellingshausen led a two-ship expedition that was the first since Cook to pass into the Antarctic Circle.
Because Bellingshausen's expedition made their southern attempts during the Antarctic summer (November to February), sea ice extent was reduced.
