Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei whārangi - I kitea tēnei papa i te tau 1903 i te wā o te "Discovery" Expedition ki te Antarctic, nā Robert Falcon Scott i ārahi. Ko Ernest Shackleton te tangata tuatahi i whiti i ētahi wāhanga o tēnei papa i te tau kotahi mano e iwa rau e iwa rau e iwa rau e iwa tekau mā iwa, i a ia e haere ana i tana haerenga "Nimirota"
, i hoki mai i te rangi kino i te wa i tae atu ai ki te 97 maero moana noa atu i te Pou Tonga. I tapaina e Shackleton tenei papa ki te King Edward VII Plateau hei whakahonore i te Kingi o te United Kingdom. I te marama o Tihema 1911, i a ia e hoki mai ana mai i tana haerenga tuatahi ki te Pou Tonga, i whakatau te kairangahau a Roald Amundsen ki te tapa i tenei papa ko te King Haakon VII Plateau hei whakanui i te Kingi Haakon VII o Norway.
