  Antarctic Explorers: Erich von Drygalski
Drygalski became the first balloonist in Antarctica when he climbed aboard the balloon the GAUSS was carrying and rose to an altitude of 1600 feet.
In early April, a second sledging expedition returned from a 13-day trip to Gaussberg where the four men had built a temporary shelter for any further trips to this area.
Gaussberg, located at 66°40'S, was the southern limit of the expedition.

 IPY: International Polar Year   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A geodetic network was established covering the Gaussberg region and the inland ice south of the Gaussberg at 66°48’S and 89°10’E. The geodetic network was measured by means of classical surveying methods like triangulation, trigonometric levelling and astronomical observations, which were completed by baseline measurements to get the scale of the network.
The geodetic re-measurements of the Gaussberg network will provide unique data for ice mass changes of the Antarctic inland ice in the Gaussberg region for a time interval of 105 years.
Geodetic observations of the Antarctic inland ice are very rare at the beginning of the 20th century.

The lamproite of Gaussberg is an ultrapotassic rock where leucite, olivine and clinopyroxene microphenocrysts occur in a glass-rich groundmass, containing microliths of leucite, clinopyroxene, apatite, phlogopite and rare K-richterite.
O-poor microphenocrysts; the uprise of the magma to the surface decreased the solubility of CO and caused a relative increase in water activity.

NN und seine aus dem Eisfeld emporragende markante Spitze ist der einzige eisfreie Ort in der Umgebung.
Aus diesem Grund ist der Gaussberg ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt in der antarktischen Küstenregion.

 Development of Natural Sciences in Königsberg University, VII International Congress
Drygalski was the head of the scientific expeditions to Western Greenland, the Ant­arctica, to Spitsbergen, where he did a number of oceanographic researches.
During the (1901 – 1903) German Antarctic expedition aboard the vessel "Gauss", he dis­covered and explored the volcano Gaussberg, Wilhelm II Land; on Kerguelen he founded a magneto-meteorological station.
Drygalski’s theory of drift ice became the result of his longstanding polar research, and remained topical for a long time.

 Casey Station 1996
From Casey I went to Davis, Gaussberg, Mt Brown, Davis, Heard Island, and finally back to Hobart in late March.
On this trip I did many things - here is some of the stuff I wrote along the way.
After a week on the ship we were flown into Davis, then sat around due to bad weather for a few days, then flew into Gaussberg, where we stayed 10 days, and then onto Mount Brown, where we stayed sort of 3 days, before going back to Davis to wait for the ship.

 Mount Brown, Antarctica
The view from an S-76 when it is fully loaded is not the best, but I was lucky that Robyn had volunteered to sit in the middle.
Not that I had expected to see much flying over the inland plateau, but I was hoping to get some nice shots of Gaussberg as we left, and a good view of the place we were going to.
Especially since there were no maps and knew absolutely nothing about the place.
