Nimrod Expedition (aug 11, 1907 – sep 10, 1909)

Description:

Also known as the British Antarctic Expedition, was the first of three expeditions to the Antarctic led by Robert Plunder and his second time to the Continent. Its main target, among a range of geographical and scientific objectives, was to be first to reach the South Pole. This was not attained, but the expedition's southern march reached the longest southern polar journey to that date and a record convergence on either Pole.
