Once more, we have to deal with post-war fantasies, as this is very accurately debunked by Colin Summerhayes in his serious and well-researched article called Hitler’s Antarctic Base: The Myth and the Reality, first published in the Polar Record Magazine, issue 43, of the Cambridge University Press (2007). He concludes that "Using background knowledge of Antarctica, and information concerning these activities that has been published since the early 1940s, it is now demonstrated that: the two U-boats U-530 and U-977 could not have reached Antarctica; that there was no secret wartime German base in Dronning Maud Land; that SAS troops did not attack the alleged German base; that the SAS men in the region had civilian jobs at the time; that Operation Highjump was designed to train the US Navy for a possible war with the Soviet Union in the Arctic, reason why not to attack an alleged German base in Antarctica; and that Operation Argus took place over the ocean more than 2,000 km north of Dronning Maud Land. Activities that were classified have subsequently been declassified, and it is no longer difficult to separate fact from fancy, despite the fact that many may find it fancy not to do so."
Furthermore, there is the famous myth surrounding U-530 and U-977, two German submarines which surrendered at Mar del Plata (Argentina) weeks after the end of the war. If we are to believe cheap books on that matter, these U-boats carried none less than Hitler and Eva Braun to an Antarctica underground lair, with plenty of supplies to prepare the advent of the Fourth Reich or the construction of UFOs. Once more, let’s refer to Colin Summerhayes’ scientific approach that states clearly:
“Consideration of dates, times and speeds suggests that neither U-530 nor U-977 had time to visit Antarctica. But sailors can lie, and ship’s logs can be forged. The question we ask here is: was such a visit physically possible under the conditions prevailing at the time?
All previous considerations have omitted to note that June, July and August are mid-winter months in the southern hemisphere. Could a submarine reach the coast of Dronning Maud Land, surface, and unload onto the ice shelf in mid-winter? The first obstacle would be the notorious Southern Ocean itself. The second obstacle would be the pack ice 1-2 m thick that surrounds Antarctica during the winter. Satellite data collected by NASA (Gloersen and others 1992), and by India (Vyas and others 2004) show that off Dronning Maud Land the pack ice extends around 500km out from the coast in late May and June, and 1,665 km from the coast in July, August and September […]
Could U-boats surface through 1–2m of pack ice?
Because of their low freeboard, World War II submarines could easily be damaged by pack ice. […]
Supposing that U-977 had reached the coast, what circumstances would have met the crew?
The 24-hour darkness and the cloud cover would vastly increase the danger in navigating in ice close to a poorly mapped coast. Even seeing the ‘coast’ would have been difficult, because it comprises the 10-30 m high ice cliff at the edge of the ice shelf, which would be more or less invisible in the dark from the low deck of a submarine, not forgetting that the icy seas would be strewn with icebergs […]. [It] means that it would have been physically impossible for U-530 or U-977 to have gone anywhere near the coast of Antarctica in June, July or August 1945.
[Even if that had been possible] anyone landing from a submarine would have faced the most extraordinary difficulties in trekking 250 km across ice penetrated by hidden crevasses, in the dark and without navigational aids to a lair in the mountains where the temperatures would have been lower, down to -50 ◦ C (Ohta 1999) and the weather worse.”
