The actual aim of this undertaking - the topographic recording of the mainland ice sheets between the Weddel and Ross Seas - was not achieved, due only partially to the ship’s becoming frozen in prematurely. A further cause for this failure was the fact that the initiator and leader of the expedition, Wilhelm Filchner (1877-1957), did not succeed in arousing the enthusiasm of the scientists on board for a continuation of the undertaking.... view less
