Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I tino miharo a Beardmore ki a Shackleton, ā, i tuku pūtea ki a ia, engari he uaua te kimi i ētahi atu koha. Heoi anō, i te Hui-tanguru 1907, i whakaaturia e Shackleton ki te Royal Geographical Society ana mahere mō tētahi haerenga ki Antarctica, ko ngā taipitopito o taua haerenga, i raro i te ingoa
British Antarctic Expedition, i whakaputaina i roto i te reta a te Royal Geographical Society, "Geographical Journal". Ko te whāinga ko te wikitōria o te Pou Tonga ā-whenua me te Pou Tonga Magnetic. Kātahi ka whakapau kaha a Shackleton ki te whakatenatena i ētahi atu o ōna hoa whai rawa, o ōna hoa hoki ki te takoha, tae atu ki a Sir Philip Lee Brocklehurst, nāna i tuku £2,000 (tata ki te £2,000) hei whakarite i tētahi wāhi i runga i te haerenga; te kaituhi a Campbell Mackellar; me te rangatira o Guinness, a Lord Iveagh, ko tana takoha i whakaū i te iti iho i te rua wiki i mua i te wehenga atu o te kaipuke haerenga "Nimirota".
