In response to those asking, we did of course remember legendary Irish explorer Tom Crean during our visit to South Georgia and during our toast to ”The Boss”. Along with Shackleton and Worsley, Crean completed the extraordinary crossing of Sth Georgia on foot as part of their epic journey to rescue the men marooned on Elephant Island. A lake in the mountains above Stromness whaling station bears Crean’s name as a result of his famously having fallen into it during his trek. A photo of the lake appears on our Gallery page.
