Antarctic explorer’s family home commands stunning views

A MODEST cottage in Courtmacsherry not only has a superb vantage point over the bay, but it was once the home of the Antarctic explorer Patrick Keohane.

Keohane was 30 when he joint Scott’s 1910-1912 Terra Nova expedition to the Antarctic.

He is remembered fondly as the holder of the “much to be avoided record” of falling into crevasses eight times in 25 minutes during the team’s slog to the South Pole.
