We may be at cross purposes, I was just curious about Shackleton's choice of words.

Shackleton's "Imperial Trans-Arctic Expedition" was to the Southern Pole. These days we spend a little bit of ink saying Antarctica in order to create the distinction with the Northern Pole, but Shackleton didn't need to bother. I wonder when that changed?
