He was a member of Wilhelm Filchner's Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1913, which failed in its attempt to determine the nature of the link, if any, between the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea, and thereby resolve the question as to whether the continent was a single landmass or a group of several elements.
