Figure 4.3. Scott's map of
the sledging journeys from
Winter Quarters at Hut
Point. Note the change
of course by the southern
party in late November,
when the men decided to
abandon their southerly
heading and to attempt
to reach rock to the west.
When the party met the
ice chasm to the east of
Depot B, it continued
south along the mountains
until reaching Shackleton
Inlet, which Shackleton
recognized six years later
to be the mouth of Nimrod
Glacier.
