140 years ago: the German station at South Georgia (South Atlantic) of the First International Polar Year (1882–1883)
During the First International Polar Year (1882–1883) in the Arctic, Germany set up a meteorological and magnetic station at South Georgia in the South Atlantic, where the transit of Venus in front of the Sun on 6 December 1882 could also be observed.
