Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland's unsung heroes, is brought to life in this dramatic, enthralling and entertaining piece by Adrian Dooley. He shares the riveting stories of the only man who served alongside Scott and Shackleton in three of the most daring expeditions to the great white continent, including Shackleton's ill-fated Endurance expedition. This includes Crean's infamous 36 mile solitary trek during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades - described by by Anarctic historians as 'The finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration.' Crean's story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctica. Refreshments and bar available.
