Eismitte

Eismitte, in English also called Mid-Ice, was a meteorological station established by the 1930-31 German Greenland Expedition in the middle of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The venture took place from July 1930 through August 1931, and established three Arctic stations on the same parallel. A trip back from Eismitte in early November 1930 claimed the life of expedition leader, noted German scientist Alfred Wegener. The station was abandoned on 1 August 1931.
