 After being delayed by sea ice in McMurdo Sound in January 1915, "Aurora" managed to make her way further south, and sent teams off to set up the depots.Eventually she made her way to Discovery Bay on 12 March 1915, where she anchored and continued to offload supplies.In May, "Aurora" was trapped in the ice, and was carried out to the sea, stranding the men that were setting up the depots.
