"The First Man to Discover the Antarctic Continent, Belins Gojin"
#Travel # #Tourism # #Antarctic # #Exploration # Human desire and action to explore and understand the earth has never stopped. After the Great Voyage, many brave explorers began to explore the polar regions from the 17th century. Humans discovered the Antarctic continent and its nearby islands much earlier than we now confirm, but because the discoverers were mainly hunting seals, there is no historical record to hide their seal habitat or the waters of whale activity and monopolize these important economic sources.
Today's protagonist is the commander of the historically documented expedition to discover the Antarctic continent, then Russian Navy Colonel Fadey Yvívich Belinskojin. On September 20, 1778, on the island of Ezer (present-day Sarema, Estonia), the famous Russian naval officer, scientist, navigator and admiral Fatey Fadeyevich Belinskoyjin was born. In 1789, Bellings Gaujin studied at the Naval Cadet regiment in Kronstadt, became an apprentice, sailed to the coast of England in 1796, successfully sailed around the Baltic Sea, and in 1797 was promoted to apprenticeship. From 1803 to 1806, he took part in the Russian circumnavigation of the globe, and during the journey, he wrote and drew almost all the maps contained in the atlas. In 1806, Bellings was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. From 1810 to 1819, Belinskojin commanded a frigate and a frigate in the Baltic and Black Seas, conducting cartographic and astronomical studies.
In 1819, sent by Czar Alexander, Russian Navy Colonel Fadeyevich Belinskojin (Russian: Фадде́й Ффадде́евич Д 4еллинсга́узен, Romanized: Faddéj Faddéevič Bellinsgáuzen, 20 September 1778 – 25 January 1852) left Russia for the Southern Ocean, The flagship, a brand-new bronze hull, the Vostok (Vostok) and another old slow-moving transport ship Mirnyy (Mir), headed to Antarctica with the aim of maximizing penetration into the Antarctic region and discovering unknown lands. The expedition first discovered several islands in the Antarctic part of the Atlantic Ocean, and crossed the Antarctic Circle on January 26, 1820, the expedition was very close to the ice continent, and on the 27th the convoy saw the Antarctic continent, but could not land due to ice and snow. The two ships then continued to head east, crossing the Antarctic Circle six times, circling the coast of the Antarctic continent, and the fleet discovered the southernmost known continent at latitude 69°53′S, named Peter I after the Tsar, and then discovered another ice-free land, named Alexander I, which was actually connected to the Antarctic continent by an ice shelf. On 24 July 1821, after a 751-day voyage, the schooner returned to Kronstadt (Russian: Кроншта́дт, Romanization: Kronshtadt; German: Kronstadt)
After returning from the expedition, Bellingsgaard was promoted to captain, and in 1828 he was promoted to rear admiral, and took part in the Russo-Turkish Campaign of 1828-1829, besieging and capturing the Varna Fortress from sea. After the war he commanded the Second Naval Division of the Baltic Fleet. In 1839, Belinskojin was appointed military governor of Kronstadt and commander of the port of Kronstadt. He made a great contribution to the placement of the city as the main base of the fleet. In this position he received the rank of Admiral and the Order of St. Vladimir I degree. On 25 January 1852, Belins Gautin died and was buried in Kronstadt. In 1870, in Catherine Park in Kronstadt, the sculptor I. N. Schroeder unveiled a monument to the famous navigator. Today the promontory of Sakhalin In the Pacific, an island in the Atlantic, an ice shelf in Antarctica, and the first Soviet-era base off the coast of the Southwest Pole are all named after Belins Gaujin.
