He published in 1860, ''Results of the Magnetical, Nautical and Meteorological Observations from March 1858 to February 1859'', and did a large amount of travelling in Victoria in connection with his magnetic survey of the colony. He published his ''Results of the Meteorological Observations 1859-1862'' and ''Nautical Observations 1858-1862'' in 1864, and in the same year returned to Germany. In 1867 he brought out his ''Discussion of the Meteorological and Magnetical Observations made at the Flagstaff Observatory'', and in 1869 appeared his extremely valuable Results of the ''Magnetic Survey of the Colony of Victoria—1858-1864''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Schröder |first1=Wilfried |last2=Wiederkehr |first2=Karl Heinrich |date=1992-11-27 |title=Georg von Neumayer (1826—1909) und die internationale Entwicklung der Geophysik |url=https://brill.com/view/journals/ges/49/1/article-p45_6.xml |journal=[[Gesnerus]] |language=en |volume=49 |issue=1 |pages=45–62 |doi=10.1163/22977953-04901006 |issn=0016-9161}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Schröder |first1=W. |last2=Wiederkehr |first2=K.-H. |last3=Schlegel |first3=K. |date=2010-12-22 |title=Georg von Neumayer and geomagnetic research |url=https://hgss.copernicus.org/articles/1/77/2010/ |journal=History of Geo- and Space Sciences |language=en |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=77–87 |doi=10.5194/hgss-1-77-2010 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2010HGSS....1...77S |issn=2190-5029}}</ref>

Later, he organized the "Gazelle Expedition" (1874-1876), so named as it was conducted aboard the German [[steam frigate]] {{SMS|Gazelle|1859|6}}. and was director of the [[hydrographic office|hydrographic organisation]] "Deutsche Seewarte" (1876-1903). He chaired the [[International Polar Commission]] in 1879 together with  [[Karl Weyprecht]], founding the first [[International Polar Year]] 1882/83 and the [[Antarctic Year]] 1901. In 1895, von Neumayer had established the German Commission for South Polar Exploration, which culminated in the [[First German Antarctica Expedition]] in 1901, the so-called ''Gauss'' expedition.

In 1890 he co-authored the first [[cloud atlas]].<ref>{{cite book

Polar explorer [[Roald Amundsen]] came to study under Neumayer in 1900.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.polarhistorie.no/ekspedisjoner/gjoaekspedisjonen|title = Index of /Ekspedisjoner/Gjoaekspedisjonen}}</ref> In the same year, Neumayer was designated a Commander of the [[Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown]], including the right to furthermore have his surname preceded by 'Ritter von' ('Knight of').

Neumayer died in 1909 in [[Neustadt an der Weinstraße]]. He gave his name to the German Polar Research Station in Antarctica, the now abandoned "[[Neumayer Station]]". This year-round manned station is totally covered with ice and snow (buried 10 meters under the surface) and is situated in the Weddell-Sea area (08 15W, 70 35S). The successor was the [[Neumayer Station II]] which was then abandoned itself. The only station in use now is the [[Neumayer Station III]]. Research topics are permanent observations of the Earth's magnetic field, seismological registrations, infrasonic, meteorological and air chemistry investigations.
