U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Marinka: Aurora waxay ka tagtay Hobart 24kii Diseembar 1914, iyadoo dib loogu dhigay Australia dhibaatooyin dhaqaale iyo abaabul. Imaatinka McMurdo Sound 15kii Janaayo 1915 wuxuu ka dambeeyay xilli ciyaareedkii la qorsheeyay, laakiin taliyaha kooxda Aeneas Mackintosh wuxuu si dhakhso leh u qorsheeyay safar lagu xareynayo Ross Ice Shelf, maadaama uu fahmay in Shackleton uu rajeynayay inuu isku dayo inuu ka gudbo xilli ciyaareedkii ugu horreeyay. Rag iyo eeyo midna ma aysan aqoon barafka, kooxda oo dhanna waxay ahaayeen kuwo aan khibrad u laheyn barafka. Safarkii ugu horreeyay ee barafka waxaa ka dhashay khasaaraha toban ka mid ah 18 eeyaha kooxda iyo kooxda xeebta oo barafku qabsaday oo guud ahaan niyad jabsan; hal keyd oo aan dhammaystirnayn ayaa ahaa guushooda kaliya. Bishii Meey 7, Aurora, oo ku xirneyd xarunta kooxda ee Cape Evans, ayaa laga soo saaray xerooyinkeeda intii lagu jiray duufaan waxaana lagu qaaday baraf dabayl ah oo aad u fog badda. Ma awoodin inay ku laabato McMurdo Sound, waxay ku sii jirtay xabsi barafka muddo sagaal bilood ah illaa 12kii Febraayo 1916, ka dib markii ay safartay masaafo qiyaastii ah 1,600 mayl (2,600 km), waxay gaadhay biyo furan waxayna ku dhufatay New Zealand. Waxay la socotay qaybta ugu badan ee shidaalka, raashinka cuntada, dharka iyo qalabka, in kasta oo raashinka lugta ee bakhaarada la soo dejiyey. Si ay u sii wadaan howlgalkooda kooxda xeebta ku xayiran waxay ku qasbanaadeen inay dib u sii daayaan oo ay dib u qalabeeyaan naftooda wixii ka haray duullimaadyadii hore, gaar ahaan Captain Scott's Terra Nova Expedition oo saldhigeedu ahaa Cape Evans dhowr sano ka hor. Waxay awood u yeesheen inay bilaabaan xilli ciyaareedkii labaad ee kaydinta kaydinta jadwalka, Sebtember 1915.Bilooyinkii xigay, kaydinta loo baahan yahay ayaa la dhigay, hal darajo oo u dhexeeya Ross Ice Shelf ilaa cagaha Beardmore Glacier. Safarkii dib u noqoshada ee barafka ayaa kooxda waxaa weeraray cudurka'scurvy'; Arnold Spencer-Smith, oo ahaa wadaadka iyo sawir qaadaha safarka, ayaa ku dhacay oo ku dhintay barafka. Kooxdii kale waxay gaareen hoyga ku meel gaarka ah ee Hut Point, oo ah meel ka baxsan safarkii Discovery ee koonfurta...  Su'aal: Goormee ayay Aurora ka baxday Hobart?
