The Gauss party set up a magnetic observation
station at Ile Kerguelen and then proceeded
toward Antarctica. At about 90°E they found and
named Emperor Wilhelm Land-now called Wilhelm
II Coast. Between 91° and 92°E, south of the
Antarctic Circle, the Gauss was frozen into the pack
ice where she was forced to remain for over a year.
During most of the time magnetic, geodetic,
climatological, and tidal data were taken at stations
established on the ice. In March 1902 Drygalski made
an ascent in a captive balloon to extend his
observations of the surrounding terrain. A sledging
joumney was made to an apparently extinct volcano,
which the party named Gaussberg. Glaciological
studies were conducted on the mainland and geologic
specimens were collected. Biological work included
observations of birds and collection of marine fauna.
