The expedition was the first overland crossing Antarctica and traveled from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via the South Geographic Pole. Meanwhile, Kainan Maru would take a second party to King Edward VII Land, where it would land and explore. Although Fuchs later stressed the scientific potential of his plan which he said took initial shape as he sheltered from a blizzard, huddled in a tent on Antarcticas Stonington Island the proposal also had geopolitical motivations. [72][79][n 4] Two land parties disembarked to explore what they thought was virgin territory, unaware that a team from Amundsen's expedition, led by Prestrud, had entered the land from the Barrier the previous year.

The remainder of the expedition was an exercise in damage control, with the organising committees in New Zealand and the UK stressing there was indeed only one expedition, and there had been no race to the Pole.

[10] This ship was the Hoko Maru, a former fishing industry service boat. Instead, he decided, the Japanese expedition would focus on more modest objectives in science, surveying, and exploring in King Edward VII Land. From the Box: Official Observer Reports. Queen Mother . Summarising the partys scientific work, Dr Fuchs said they had surveyed two mountain ranges in the Weddell Sea which were previously unknown. [31] They could go no further south, and were in danger of being trapped, to face a wintering in the ice that it was unlikely the ship would survive.
