The Epic Story of Tom Crean: A Tale of Defeat and Survival in the Antarctic

This book talks about defeat and survival. I met Tom Crean while living in Ireland. Some time ago, while traveling through County Kerry, I passed through Annascaul, the village where Tom Crean was born and retired after his career in the British navy and as an explorer.

Even today, you can have a pint at the pub he bought and called - surprise, surprise - The South Pole Inn. It's full of images and documents about Crean's career as an explorer. It's worth a visit if you ever pass through Kerry.

Michael Smith's book flows quickly and passionately. Through Crean's life - a hero rediscovered in the 1990s in Ireland thanks to Smith's biography - we are transported to what is called the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration.

This period spans from the late 19th century to 1917 and defines what is considered one of the last epochs of raw exploration. Without technology support and with very high risks to the crew's lives.

The book's chapters follow more or less the stages of Crean's life, with his three expeditions to the South Pole. These three expeditions all have something in common: they are epic, they fail miserably, Crean and his companions risk their lives, and Crean proves to be a humble hero, endowed with extraordinary willpower and physical strength.

Try to imagine having to walk hundreds of kilometers, with temperatures down to -50, dragging a sled and rationing food. For months. And now imagine having to do something like this three times in your life. That was Tom Crean.

It's a beautiful book, one of the best I've read recently.

One curiosity related to the book about Tom Crean is Scott's Hut. It's a hut located at the South Pole and was built in 1911 during the expedition called Terra Nova (1910-1913) led by Robert Falcon Scott.

It's also Tom Crean's first expedition. This 120 square meter hut was home to 25 men during the winter of 1911. Imagine winter at the South Pole.

The peculiarity is that this structure is not only still there but also visitable virtually thanks to Google Earth.
