Main event
January 28, 1820
''Vostok'' and ''Mirny'' stayed on the voyage for 751 days and passed more than 92 thousand km. This distance is two and a quarter times greater than the length of the equator.
Except Antarctica, the expedition discovered 29 islands and one coral reef. The collected scientific materials made it possible to compile the first idea of Antarctica.
Russian sailors not only discovered a huge continent located around the South Pole, but also carried out major research in the oceanography.
The discoveries of the expedition proved to be a major achievement of the Russian and world geographical science of that time.
At the beginning of the XIX century. the ships of the Russian fleet made a series of round-the-world voyages. These expeditions enriched world science with the largest geographical discoveries, especially in the Pacific Ocean. However, the vast expanses of the Southern Hemisphere still remained on the map as a "white spot". The question of the existence of the Southern continent was not clarified.
In 1819, after a long and very thorough preparation from Kronstadt, the southern polar expedition, consisting of two military sloops - ''Vostok'' and ''Mirny'', set out on a long voyage. The first commander was Faddey Bellingshausen, the second - Mikhail Lazarev. The crew of the ships consisted of experienced, seasoned sailors.
On July 16, 1819 the ships "Vostok'' and "Mirny", anchored and saluted artillery coastal batteries left their native Kronstadt raid. There was a long way to unknown countries. Before the expedition they set the task of completely penetrating to the south in order to finally resolve the question of the existence of the Southern continent.
In early autumn, with a favorable wind, the ships took a course across the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of Brazil. The weather favored swimming. Rare and weak storms did not violate the order of life on ships. From the very first days of the voyage, scientific observations were conducted, which Bellingshausen and his assistants carefully and in detail recorded in the logbook. Every day under the guidance of prof. Kazan University astronomer Simonov officers were engaged in astronomical observations and calculations of the geographical position of the vessel.
At the end of December 1819 the sloops approached South Georgia Island. The sailors took up the description and shooting of its southern shore. The northern side of this mountainous island, covered with snow and ice, was also taken off by the English navigator James Cook. The ships moved slowly forward, moving very cautiously among the floating ice.
In the beginning of the January 1820, sailors discovered an unknown island, entirely covered with snow and ice. The next day, two more islands were seen from the ship. They were also put on a map, naming the participants of the expedition (Leskov and Zavadovsky). Zavadovsky Island was an active volcano with a height of more than 350 m. Landed on the shore, the expedition members ascended the slope of the volcano to the middle of the mountain. On the way, eggs of penguins and rock samples were collected. There were many penguins here. The sailors took on the ship several birds, entertained on the road crews of ships.
Eggs of penguins were edible, and they were used for food. An open group of islands was named in honor of the then naval minister - Traverse.
Foggy, cloudy weather made swimming very difficult. The ships were constantly threatened with danger to run aground. With each mile to the south, it became increasingly difficult to wade between the ice.
The expedition's ships nevertheless crossed the Southern Arctic Circle and on January 28, 1820, reached 69 ° 25'S. w. In the hazy haze of a cloudy day, travelers saw an icy wall blocking the further way to the south. It was the continental ice. The expedition members were sure that the Southern continent was hiding behind them. This was confirmed by the many polar birds that appeared above the sloop. Indeed, only a few miles separated the ships from the coast of Antarctica, called the Norwegians after more than a hundred years by the banks of Princess Martha. In 1948, the Soviet whaling flotilla "Slava" visited these places, which established that only poor visibility prevented Bellingshausen from clearly seeing the whole coast of Antarctica and even mountain peaks in the interior of the continent.
Thus, the greatest geographical discovery of the 19th century was accomplished.

Holidays
January 28
The global Internet community offers to live on the last Sunday of January in the "real" world.
The International Internet Day has its history since the beginning of the 2000s, and the initiator of its establishment, according to some data, is the British Institute for Social Inventions, and on the other - the British non-commercial online project “DoBe.org”. The only thing that is known for sure is that it was the active, advanced Internet users who became the organizers of the International Day WITHOUT the Internet.
The main goal of this holiday is to completely distract people from computers and the global network for at least one day, to live this day exclusively in the “real” world, to communicate with other people exclusively “live” or to devote it to their favorite hobby (of course, unrelated with the internet).
International Data Protection Day
The holiday was established so that internet users do not forget about observing the rules of behavior on the Internet, which help to protect their virtual and real life.
In connection with the rapid development of the information and telecommunication sphere, with the introduction of new technologies, the spread of innovative, globalization and integration processes, the Convention became the basis for the further development of regulation in the field of personal data protection.
The basic principles of the processing and protection of personal data proposed by this Convention are the integrity and legality of receiving and processing personal data, storing personal data for certain and legitimate purposes and not using them in a manner inconsistent with these goals.
Brownie Treats Day
On January 28, Russich and other Slavic peoples celebrated the House Ghost's Treat.
Immediately after dinner, the hostess of the house left a pot of porridge behind the stove, having previously enclosed it with hot coals. This was done so that by the time of the appearance of the brownie (he arrived exactly at midnight) the porridge was not cold and the “defender of the house” could enjoy hot food. There was a belief that if you leave a good helper without refreshments on this night, he can very easily turn into a fierce enemy, and then you can not expect that the year will turn out well ...
This holiday was also called Kudesy. In some Slavic dialects, this word meant tambourines. A musical instrument, a symbiosis of a small drum and bells. The holiday is a holiday, and therefore in many families they tried to cajole with dances and songs. And having fun from the heart ...
