Annascaul or Anascaul (Irish: Abhainn an Scáil or Abha na Scáil) is a village in County Kerry. The name has different meanings, depending on which translation is used. It can mean Scáil's River (Scáil Ní Mhúirnáin is a character in a local legend), River of the Shadows, or Ford of the Heroes.
Annascaul was the birthplace of the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, who was part of Robert Scott's ill-fated attempts to reach the South Pole. The area is particularly good for walking and hill walking.

Considering that one of Irelands greatest heroes was an Anascaul Man, I am surprised at the scant references to his existence - a mere two lines in your summary - this 'Epitaph' for a man that was the unsung hero of both the Scott expedition and that of Sir Ernest Shackleton on many an occasion. During the Scott attempt at the S.Pole he was sent, when at 90 miles to go, to take a sick Officer, back to base camp. When with still 35 miles to go the officer could not go any further, Tom Crean left him with his other companion and walked back to the base camp over the Antarctic Wastes alone with only a Compass to guide him a trip that took 18 hrs or so, and returned with the rescue party. No Mobile phones or means of communication. Who could do that these days? Come on Georgina
