Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I te 1 o Hānuere 1908, ka wehe atu te British Antarctic Expedition
mai i Lyttelton Harbour, Aotearoa. I whakaaro a Shackleton i te whakamahinga o te turanga tawhito o "Discovery" i McMurdo Sound hei whakarewa i ana whakamatau ki te Pou Tonga me te Pou Magnetic ki te Tonga. I mua i tana wehenga atu i Ingarangi, i pehia ia kia whakawhiwhia ki a Scott kia kaua ia e noho ki te rohe o McMurdo, e kii ana a Scott ko tana ake mara mahi. I whakaae a Shackleton ki te rapu i nga waahi hotoke i te Barrier Inlet - i toro poto a Discovery i te tau 1902 - i te King Edward VII Land ranei.
