They are (left to right) Able seaman Harry Dickason, Petty Officer George Abbott, Petty Officer Frank Browning, Lieutenant Victor Campbell, geologist Raymond Priestley, and Surgeon George Murray Levick.

The Northern Party's primary concern was scientific. They had set out to conduct meteorological, zoological, and geological work at Cape Adare and Evans Cove. They had wintered in a hut at Cape Adare, but were forced to spent a second winter in an ice cave on Inexpressible Island when the Terra Nova was unable to pick them up due to heavy pack ice in February 1912. After the return of the sun, they emerged from their ice cave only to have to make a journey of approximately 200 miles from Inexpressible Island back to Cape Evans. The Party arrived back at Cape Evans at 5pm on 7 November to find no one there. A note on the hut door informed them of the news of the lost Polar Party and the search parties out looking for them on the Beardmore Glacier, but it was not long before Frank Debenham and Chief Steward Archer returned to greet the Northern Party.
