[1] As a messdeck seaman, Browning helped sail the Terra Nova from Cardiff to McMurdo Sound in Antarctic waters.
[2] After the Terra Nova anchored at Cape Evans, Browning joined the Shore Party and embarked upon active Antarctic service.
[3] The Northern Party was supposed to explore a section of rocky and icy coast, collect geological specimens, and then be retrieved by the Terra Nova.
[5] More fortunate than Scott, Browning and his fellow members of the Northern Party were on a coastline with some animal life that could be killed and eaten.
Under near-lethal conditions, the members of the Northern Party managed to trek towards their expedition's main base during the spring of the 1912–1913 sledging season, and Browning and his comrades were rescued.
