Large lake at 231 m above sea level west of Shackleton Valley, Busen Region, South Georgia. Named after Thomas Crean (1877-1938), Able Seaman on the National Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04; Petty Officer on the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13; Second Officer of Endurance on the BITAE, 1914-16. During the crossing of South Georgia by Shackleton, Worsley and Crean, from Peggotty Bluff to Stromness, as the group climbed towards the last pass above Stromness, the unsuspecting Crean broke through a layer of snow and ice to plunge waist-deep into the icy waters of this lake (APC, 2013). |
