Documentary extracts from journals and logbooks relating to the circum-Antarctic expeditions of Cook (1772-75) and Bellingshausen (1819-21)

Marine ice data extracted from historical records of ship-observed sea ice and iceberg positions from the circum-Antarctic expeditions of James Cook (1772-75) and Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen (1819-21), including ice data from the separate voyages of the accompanying vessels. An indication of when size information was gathered in the journals is given, as well as when a vessel harvested water from iceberg growlers.
