Fabian Gottlieb Benjamin von Bellingshausen was the first person to see the continent of Antarctica on the 27th January 1820.

Some historians believe that John Davis, an American sealer, may have set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula in 1821, but even he was unsure if he landed on the continent itself or a nearby island.
