== Life ==
Leo Gburek attended the Volksschule and Oberrealschule in Beuthen. In 1929 he began a study of geophysics at the University of Leipzig. In the summer months of 1937 and 1938 he took part in expeditions to Spitsbergen, where he undertook geomagnetic surveys. There he met Ernst Herrmann, who was also a member of the third German Antarctic Expedition led by Alfred Ritscher. Due to his polar experience Gburek was selected in October 1938 to join this expedition. His responsibilities included geomagnetic measurements on the Antarctic continent. A group of rocky elevations on the ice sheet was named by the expedition leader '' Gburekspitzen (Gburek Peaks)''.〔(Gburekspitzen ) im Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica retrieved 25 July 2015〕
At the beginning of World War II Gburek was conscripted and served as a weather observer in the Luftwaffe in weather reconnaissance squadron Wekusta 1 / Ob.dL. In January 1941, his plane was shot down over the Shetland Islands during a reconnaissance flight and he was killed during the crash landing at Vaasetter, Fair Isle.〔(Account of the shooting down on Fair Isle ), retrieved 25 July 2015〕〔(The Last Flight - Heinz Thurz ) (Luftwaffe pilot's accounts of the last mission), retrieved 25 July 2015〕 He was buried on 20 January 1941 in the cemetery of Fair Isle but, along with his colleague Georg Nentwig who also died in the crash, he was later reburied at the Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof, Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England.
