Fritz Loewe beschreibt in seinem letzten nicht mehr gehaltenen Vortrag, wie er als begeisterter Bergsteiger und Meteorologe begann, Gletscher zu erforschen. Wichtige Stationen waren das Jungfraujoch, die Teilnahme an Wegeners Grönlandexpeditionen (1929, 1930-31), die Überwinterung auf der französischen Antarktisstation (1951-52), die Nanga Parbat Region (1958), sowie der mehrfache Besuch Grönlands in den 1960er Jahren. Eine einleitende Biographie liefert den Hintergrund für Loewes Aktivitäten.

In his diary, the carpenter Wilhelm Heinrich described the emerging tensions between some scientists, the ship's management and the sailors during the voyage of the second German Antarctic Expedition (1911) to Buenos Aires. Together with three additional travel accounts, a vivid picture of social conditions during the first leg of the voyage aboard the
Deutschlandemerges for the first time, about which Filchner's official voyage report says little.

Der Bericht beschreibt die Entdeckungsgeschichte der Antarktis seit dem 16. Jahrhundert, die von der Gründung der History of Antarctic Research Action Group innerhalb des Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research im Jahr 2004 gefolgt wird. 2011 zur Expert Group aufgewertet, ging die EG 2018 schließlich im Standing Committee on Humanities and Social Sciences auf. Es wird gezeigt, wie eine internationale Gruppe zusammenwächst, um die Geschichte der Antarktisforschung erfolgreich zu behandeln.

During the First International Polar Year (1882–1883) 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 decades. Today only some relics remain. The paper wants to encourage an archeological investigation to learn more about the social life of the station members.

During the 18th Meeting of Latin American Antarctic Historians (Encuentro de Historiadores Antárticos Latinoamericanos) in San Esteban, Chile, 5–7 September 2018, a European representative of Antarctic history was invited for the first time to provide a new perspective on the research topic. The lectures dealt mostly with South American aspects of Antarctic history, complemented by book presentations and reminiscences from overwinterers at the Chilean station Base O'Higgins.

Lecture manuscripts of the meteorologist Heinrich von Ficker (1881–1957), who taught in Graz, Berlin and Vienna, are now accessible in the archive of the Humboldt University in Berlin. Among other things, they deal with high mountain research in the Alai-Pamir region more than 100 years ago. This article provides an insight into these manuscripts.

Short summary
The History of Polar Research working group not only examines advances in the disciplines represented in polar research or technical developments in expedition logistics, but also the various national and international research co-operations and the steps towards institutionalising polar research. Due to the broad spectrum of research, polar history is considered in a political, economic and cultural or even biographical context. The group presents its results on polar conferences.
