Today´s lunch spot is Tom Crean's South Pole Inn — Annascaul, Ireland.

Time to partake of what is promoted on the sign — Annascaul, Ireland.

Fish and chips ... perfect pub food at the South Pole Inn — Annascaul, Ireland.

I love all the Frank Hurley photos from the Endurance expedition hanging on the walls — Annascaul.

This photo of Tom Crean with the husky pups is the inspiration for the memorial statue — Annascaul.

Some of the photos Frank Hurley was able to save before the Endurance went down in the Antarctic.

I already mentioned in the previous footprint that our timing was just right to have lunch at Tom Crean’s South Pole Inn ... even if the place is no longer associated with the Crean family.

From the pub menu, we both ordered the delicious fish and chips ... which was made with hake. A pint of Guinness´s Rockshore Irish lager was the perfect accompaniment to our food.

As good as the food was, I especially enjoyed the ambiance with memorabilia from Crean’s Antarctic expeditions decorating the walls.Read more
