Abstract:
The article is devoted to the discovery of the Antarctic by Russian navigators, the study, mapping and designation of its shores and adjacent islands. Russian names were given to many new found geographic features. The list of some Russian geographical names is shown on the map of Antarctica. The maps of the Bellingshausen–Lazarev sailing expedition in 1819–1821 are given; the Russian geographical names are highlighted on them. The article is also devoted to the first Russian Antarctic expedition of 1819–1821, the discovery of the Antarctic by Russian navigators F. F. Bellingshausen and M. P. Lazarev on the sloops "Vostok" and "Mirny", the study, mapping and marking of its shores and adjacent Islands. The expedition discovered 29 Islands. The discoverers assigned Russian names to many of new found geographic objects of Antarctica. These names are highlighted in the article. The following maps are presented: of Antarctic Peninsula with the Russian and English names of the discovered Islands; a fragment of the educational map for comprehensive school, scale 1 : 15 000 000, edition 1981, where Islands discovered by the Bellingshausen-Lazarev expedition not signed; of the Bellingshausen – Lazarev expedition voyage in 1819–1821 in which the Russian geographical names of the Islands are given, which they discovered and were put on maps. Russian geographical names take a significant share of the existing geographical names of Antarctica, more than 2000 names in most parts of the continent. Geographical names on maps of Antarctica reflect major events in the history of our country. Many Soviet and Russian names were given to objects in the areas where the most intensive research was conducted by Soviet and later Russian Antarctic expeditions. These are areas in the Eastern part of Antarctica, most of its coast, mountain ranges in the interior part of the continent and Antarctic oases. Names of geographic objects on the world ocean chart are protected by the state as an integral part of the historical and cultural heritage of the Russian Federation peoples.
