Description
Tom Crean: An Extraordinary Life. Born in County Kerry in 1877, Tom Crean's naval career took him to some of the most extreme environments on Earth. His early years were marked by rebellions and life-threatening storms in the Americas, before he faced new challenges in Australia. It was here that Robert Scott chose him for his ill-fated expedition to Antarctica. Crean's feats of heroism on two expeditions are legendary. He helped save the lives of crewmates on three dramatic occasions, most famously during Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition when the vessel sank and the crew was stranded on the ice for almost 500 days. This is a story of remarkable bravery in the harshest conditions on the planet. Crean's life was one unlike others - that of an unassuming but quietly strong man who showed remarkable courage in the face of adversity.
