Overview

The Irishman Tomás Ó Cuirín (1877-1938), known as Tom Crean, was one of the greatest heroes in the history of Antarctic exploration: he participated in three of the greatest expeditions, shared adventures with Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Henry Shackleton, the great rivals of the time, and survived them both. However, today he is a practically forgotten figure.
