Nuair a bhí Tom Crean cúig bliana déag d’aois d’imigh sé ó bhaile agus chuaigh sé isteach sa Chabhlach Ríoga. Tar éis tamaill bhí sé san Antartach. Bhí sé an-dheacair taisteal chun an Antartaigh céad bliain ó shin. Bhí an turas cosúil le turas go lúpatar inniu. Fear láidir ba ea Tom Crean. Shábháil sé a chomrádaithe. Tháinig sé slán ón oighear, ón sneachta, ón bhfuacht agus tá a scéal dochreidte, beagnach. Sa leabhar seo beidh na daoine óga faoi dhraíocht ag an gcrógacht agus an neart a thaispeáin Tom Crean.
Tom Crean joined the English navy when he was fifteen years old. After a while he went to the Antarctic. Going to the Antarctic a hundred years ago was equivalent of going to Jupiter today. Tom Crean was a strong man, his comrades owed their lives to him. He survived the ice, and the cold, the story is almost incredible.
Young people will be fascinated with this book by the strength and bravery shown by Tom Crean.
