The story of Tom Crean is so extraordinary, it is hard to believe it’s not made up, and yet his story is real. Crean’s heroic exploits in the vastness of Antarctica are in sharp contrast to his persona, the unassuming humble Kerry man who faced every challenge. A compassionate comrade and lover of animals amidst the wild and often brutal conditions of the southern oceans, Crean was involved in almost every epic battle to chart Antarctica and reach the south pole.
