One hundred years ago, in March 1909, Shackleton`s Nimrod Expedition came home safely. When Scott heard the news, he immediately contacted Tom Crean with the intention of planning his own adventure. & thus the Terra Nova Expedition was born. The remarkable Tom Crean ran away to sea aged fifteen & spent more time in the unexplored Antarctic than Scott or Shackleton, & was one of the few to serve & outlive both. Michael Smith`s original biography of this enigmatic figure spawned a Guinness ad, a one-man play that is still touring today & a children`s version of the Ice Man which has been chosen as the ` One Book` for literacy groups in Cork & Limerick. Tom`s story continues to fascinate people because of his extraordinary feats of survival, his bravery & his dedication to his comrades. At the end of his expedition days, Tom came home to Irel&, married & built a pub, the South Pole Inn, in Annascaul, County Kerry. He was an ordinary man who did incredible things, a modest man who became a hero. An unforgettable story of triumph over unparalleled hardship & deprivation. ...
