Bay of Whales
While in Buenos Aires, "Deutschland" was joined by "Fram", Amundsen's ship, returning from the Antarctic after depositing Amundsen and his shore party at the Bay of Whales in Antarctica, prior to their successful attempt on the South Pole. The men from the two ships fraternised well – "Deutschland"s crew contained a number of Scandinavians – and the crew of "Fram" gave a rousing send-off when "Deutschland" departed for South Georgia on 4 October.
