The first sighting of the Antarctic Peninsula is disputed but apparently occurred in 1820. The most likely first sighting of the Antarctic Peninsula, and also of the whole Antarctic mainland, was probably on 27 January 1820 by an expedition of the Russian Imperial Navy led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. But the party did not recognize what they thought was an icefieldcovered by small hillocks as the mainland. Edward Bransfield and William Smith were the first to chart part of the Antarctic Peninsula just three days later on the 30 January 1820.
