140 years ago: the German station at South Georgia (South Atlantic) of the First International Polar Year (1882–1883)

Abstract. During the First International Polar Year (1882–1883) in the Arctic,
Germany set up a meteorological and magnetic station at South Georgia in the
South Atlantic, where the transit of Venus in front of the Sun on
6 December 1882 could also be observed. After the return of the expedition the
station decayed over the years. Otto Nordenskjöld's Swedish Antarctic
expedition and Wilhelm Filchner's German Antarctic expedition passed by in
1902 and 1911, respectively, and gave some information about the status of the
huts and scientific installations. 100 years after the polar year only some
relics remained. The paper describes the historical station and wants to
encourage an archeological investigation to learn more about the social
life of the station members.
