Crean’s story is a testament to human fortitude in the face of the hostile elements of the Antarctic. His 36 mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described by historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”.
He was subsequently awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery.
