About this ebook
Go now with Tom Crean to the Antarctic in 1901. See this strange new world as he sees it, experience the cold, the danger as he did. "Antarctic Voyager" takes you along with Tom Crean, a seaman on Robert F. Scott's 'Discovery' expedition 1901-1904. No one had spent a year in the ice, this far south, no one knew at the time how men would survive in this dark, forbidding, yet beautiful new world ripe for exploration and discovery. "Antarctic Voyager" takes you with Crean on the first of his three adventures there. Each of them was more dangerous than the last, but this book takes you to the very beginning, to the events and forces that shaped the rest of his life.

David Hirzel has known the name of Tom Crean since first reading the young adult abridgment (Shackleton’s Valiant Voyage) of Alfred Lansing’s Endurance about the age of ten. He began writing Tom Crean’s story in 1995, and eventually in 2011 published Sailor on Ice about Crean’s adventures with Scott’s Terra Nova expedition. Hold Fast is a continuation of that story. During the course of researching these books, Mr. Hirzel has become the leader of the Hyde Street Living History Players at San Francisco Maritime National Park.
