Host Lynn Elmhirst learns that the so-called 'White Continent' is actually rich with color, textures, sounds and tastes while sailing aboard the Scenic Eclipse. She boards zodiacs to colonies of seals and penguins, thriving in the icy desert climate, walks off the ship onto 'fast ice,' kayaks among vivid blue icebergs, flies high above glaciers in one of the ship's two helicopters, and boards the ship's submarine to see wildlife under Antarctic Ocean waves. On the bridge with the ship's captain, she also learns about navigation in icy waters.
