Cinematographer Sepp Allgeier (1895–1968) films the ship <i>Loevenskiöld</i> in May 1913 which was locked in drift ice and later got destroyed by this progressing incident. Allgeier and Bernhard Villinger (1889–1967) were part of an expedition led by polar explorer Theodor Lerner (1866–1931) based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It was intended to rescue the Prussian Lieutenant Herbert Schröder-Stranz (1884–1912). His death in the year before was unknown at that time. The participants of the aid expedition survived by happenstance.
