The Natural History collections in the British Museum were presented by John Quiller Rowett on behalf of the Expedition. The collected reports, and scientific results, were previously published in the Geographical Journal and The Ibis, are published for the first time in one volume. Financed by his schoolfriend John QUiller Rowett, The Shackleton-Rowett Expedition (1921-22) would be Shackleton's last Antarctic project in the golden age of arctic exploration. The expedition ship, Quest, a converted sealing ship, proved to be too small for the task. After taking ill, Shackleton passed away onboard. His last diary entry reads: "The old smell of dead whale permeates everything", he wrote. "It is a strange and curious place . A wonderful evening. In the darkening twilight I saw a lone star hover, gem like above the bay." The expedition was taken over by Frank Wild. After the findings of Quest, there would be no other explorations into the arctic region of seven years.
