in the summer 1936 Germany began building factory whaling ships to ply the Southern Ocean. At the time commercial whaling had been decimated in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. German whaling ships were operating far from home, so the idea of establishing an Antarctic base seemed like a good idea.

In August 1936 the German Foreign Office found some unclaimed territory in Antarctica between Norwegian and British zones and an expedition to explore and claim the region between 20 degrees east and 10 degrees west—part of an area known as Queen Maud Land—took shape.

After three months of repairs to turn the Schwabenland into an icebreaker, the captain sailed from Hamburg on December 17, 1938, with a crew of 82 scientists, officers and enlisted men, as well as two Dornier flying boats perched on catapults.

the early years of World War II, German U-boats terrorized the North Atlantic, sinking British Navy vessels and civilian ships.

With steel and other resources in short supply, one British inventor pitched a creative solution. Why not build the floating air base out of ice

With the help of a molecular biologist, George Pyke invented “pykrete,” a bullet-proof material made from ice and wood pulp.

A 1,000-ton scale model was built and tested on a lake in Alberta, Canada. But by the time the design was finalized, long-range fuel tanks on patrol planes made the ice-cube carrier obsolete.
