Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te takutai o Shackleton te waahanga o te takutai i te taha hauauru o te Ross Ice Shelf i waenga i Cape Selborne me Airdrop Peak i te taha rawhiti o Beardmore Glacier i Antarctica. I tapaina e te New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) i te tau 1961 i muri i a Sir Ernest Shackleton. I haere tahi ia ki a Scott i te haerenga ki te tonga i te haerenga "Discovery" (1901<unk>04) ana i muri mai ka arahi ia i nga haerenga Antarctic e toru. I te
British Antarctic Expedition (1907<unk>09), i kitea e Shackleton te rohe i tua atu o Shackleton Inlet ki te Beardmore Glacier, a ko ia te tuatahi ki te kimi i tetahi huarahi whaihua ki te Pou Tonga. Na te kore o te kai i aukati ia ia ki te 97 maero (180 kiromita) mai i tana whaainga.
