Russian Antarctic voyage recounts discoveries and peril
A detailed report on Captain Bellenhausen’s Russian polar expedition describes sailings from Cronstadt to King George Island, Sandwich Islands, and Port Jackson. It notes new islands mapped, savage archipelagoes, auroras, barometric observations, and near-misses with ice, with the long voyage ending in Cronstadt after two years and twenty one days.
