New Swabia (Neuschwabenland) is an area of Antarctica between 20°E and 10°W in Queen Maud Land. It was explored by the German Antarctic Expedition which discovered ice-free areas with warm fresh-water lakes and vegetation. In 1943, German Navy Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz stated: "The German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Führer in another part of the world a Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress." http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2016/04/new-swabia-neuschwabenland-and-base-211.html Robert Sepehr is an anthropologist and author http://amazon.com/Robert-Sepehr/e/B00XTAB1YC/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/atlanteangardens/ https://www.facebook.com/robertsepehr/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/robertsepehr/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/robertsepehr Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMqG0kLgrRv9tODTDG12oZA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0gkKMGpCgyun7OoEOseryg Thank you for supporting Atlantean Gardens! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=5703352
