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.
