Not a thing. Captain James Cook was prevented from reaching the Antarctic cotinent because of the pack ice, and the fact that his sails kept freezing. He was only the first European to cross the Antarctic circle, doing so twice.

Captain James Cook was the first to cross the Antarctic Circle on the 17th of January, 1773, and reached a latitude of 67 degrees 15 minutes S.
