Mount Crean


Mount Crean is one of the westernmost peaks in the dry valley region of South Victoria Land in Antarctica. It lies at, rises to, and is the highest summit in the Lashly Mountains. It is named after the Irish explorer Tom Crean, who was a member of both of Captain Scott's Antarctic expeditions, and served as second officer on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914-17.
In the 2000-01 summer season a meteorite was found on Mount Crean by a geological party.
