The routes taken by British navigator James Cook in 1772–73 and Russian admiral Fabian von Bellingshausen in 1819 are shown on this map. Both travelled within the Antarctic Circle, but their explorations were complementary, with Bellingshausen filling in many of the gaps left after Cook’s expeditions.
