Sir Edgeworth David went to Antarctica primarily as a geologist and member of the British Antarctic Expedition from 1907 to 1909, led by Ernest Shackleton. His mission was to conduct geological research and explore the continent's geological formations, contributing to the understanding of its geology and glaciology. David's work, particularly in the vicinity of Mount Erebus, helped establish key scientific findings about the region's volcanic activity and glacial processes. His contributions were significant in advancing Antarctic science during the early 20th century.
