The venture, lasting from 1921 to 1922, financed by businessman John Quiller Rowett, is sometimes referred to as the Quest Expedition after its ship, a small converted Norwegian whaler |

Before the expeditions work could properly begin, Shackleton died aboard ship, just after its arrival at the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia |
