@ Christian Rohleder
"375 versus 39, those are the number of days the RV Belgica and RV Polarstern respectively spent in the Bellingshausen Sea along Antarctica’s West coast. Whilst the RV Belgica expedition was the first one to ever reach this part of Antarctica, the RV Polarstern had the unique opportunity to survey previously uncharted areas due to this year’s sea ice minimum."
