Waxad qortaa sii wadida sadarkan - Sanadkii 1909, Evans ugu danbeyntii wuxuu ku guulaystay soo jiidashada Antarctica, wuxuuna ku dhawaaqay <unk> Markham's blessing <unk> in uu abaabuli doono socdaal uu ku sahaminayo King Edward VII Land. Wuxuu qorsheeyay safar uu ku tago barta dhexe, laakiin ujeedada labaad; "wareegidda qaaradda weyn ee Antarctic ayaa aad ii soo jiidatay". Evans wuxuu markii hore taageero ka raadsaday Cardiff safarkiisa qaran ee Welsh National Antarctic Expedition. Isla waqtigaas, Scott wuxuu bilaabay qorsheynta safar cusub si uu uga jawaabo Shackleton safarkii Nimrod ee dhowaan la dhammeeyay
<unk> labadooduba waxay ahaayeen waqtigan tartamayaal <unk> oo markay maqleen Evans waxay ka tageen mashruucii u gaarka ahaa, iyagoo ku wareejinaya maalgelintiisa iyo taageeradiisa Scott. Taas beddelkeeda, Scott wuxuu u magacaabay taliyaha labaad. Evans wuxuu keenay Cardiff iyo taageero badan oo Welsh ah in Scott uu u magacaabay Cardiff dekedda guriga ee markabka safarka, "Terra Nova" oo uu ka dhigay Evans Captain. Inkastoo ay wada shaqayn lahaayeen, labadoodu marnaba ma ahayn kuwo isku dhow, iyadoo iska horimaadka u dhexeeya Scott iyo furfurnaanta Evans ay sii xoojisay farqiga u dhexeeya darajo iyo da'da. Scott ayaa ku tilmaamay Evans qoraalkiisa taariikhda in uu ahaa "dhalinyaro aad u xamaasad badan" iyo "qof niyad wanaagsan leh, laakiin aad u gaabis ah inuu wax barto", isagoo u arkaa in uu aad uga awood badan yahay badmaaxi ka badan kii dhulka ku safrayay, oo laga yaabo inuusan waligiis ku habboonayn inuu hoggaamiyo safarkiisa.
