U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Halka laga soo gudbay: Sida laga soo xigtay halyeeyga, Shackleton wuxuu ku dhajiyay ogeysiis wargeyska London, isagoo leh: "Waxaa la raadinayaa rag u safraya safar halis ah. Mushaar yar, qabow daran, saacado badan oo mugdi ah. Soo noqoshada amaanka ah waa shaki. Sharafta iyo abaalmarinta haddii ay ku guulaysato". Raadinta xayeysiiska asalka ah waxay cadeeyeen inaysan guuleysan, sheekadana guud ahaan waxaa loo arkaa inay tahay mid aan sax ahayn. Shackleton wuxuu helay in ka badan 5,000 oo codsi oo loogu talagalay meelaha safarka, oo ay ku jiraan warqad ka socota "saddex gabdhood oo isboorti ah" oo soo jeediyay in haddii dharkooda dumarka ahi uu ahaa mid aan ku habboonayn ay "si fudud u jeclaan lahaayeen inay xirtaan dharka ragga". Ugu dambeyntii shaqaalaha labada gacmood ee safarka ayaa loo yareeyay 28 midkiiba, oo ay ku jiraan William Bakewell, oo ku biiray markabka Buenos Aires, saaxiibkiis Perce Blackborow oo ka fogaaday markii codsigiisa la diiday, iyo dhowr ballan oo daqiiqadii ugu dambeysay ah oo loo sameeyay xisbiga Ross Sea ee Australia. Xubin kumeelgaar ah oo ka tirsan shaqaalaha markabka ayaa ahaa Sir Daniel Gooch, oo ah awowga hormuudka caanka ah ee tareenka Daniel Gooch, kaasoo u soo galay inuu caawiyo Shackleton sidii uu u qaban lahaa eeyga daqiiqadii ugu dambeysay wuxuuna saxiixay mushaharka badmaaxiinta awood u leh. Gooch wuxuu ogolaaday inuu la safro Endurance ilaa iyo Koonfurta Georgia. Shackleton wuxuu doortay Frank Wild, oo isaga la joogay labada safar ee Discovery iyo Nimrod, wuxuuna ka mid ahaa kooxda Koonfurta fog ee 1909. Wild ayaa hada ka soo laabtay safarkii Mawson ee Antarctic ee Australia. Shackleton waxa uu doonayay John King Davis, oo ahaa kabtanka markabka Endurance, kaas oo ahaa kabtanka markabka Aurora intii uu socday safarkii Australia ee Antarctica. Davis ayaa diiday, isaga oo u maleynaya in mashruucan uu ahaa "qasab", sidaa darteed magacaabista waxaa loo magacaabay Frank Worsley, oo sheegtay inuu dalbaday safarka ka dib markii uu ku bartay riyo. Sarkaalka Sare ee Ciidanka Badda ee Boqortooyada Ingiriiska Tom Crean, oo lagu abaalmariyay Albert Medal markii uu badbaadiyay nolosha Lieutenant Edward Evans ee Terra Nova Expedition, ayaa fasax ka qaatay ciidanka badda si uu ugu saxiixo sarkaalka labaad ee Endurance; mid kale oo khibrad u leh Antarctic, Alfred Cheetham, wuxuu noqday sarkaalka saddexaad. Laba ka mid ah askartii hore ee Nimrod waxay ahaayeen...  Su'aal: Muxuu ahaa magaca kooxda safarka Antarctica ee si deg deg ah loo soo ururiyey?
Kooxda Badda Ross
