Glenn traveled to Antarctica as a guest of the National Science Foundation and had unrestricted access to U.S. bases and facilities, where he interviewed scientists, bakers, bureaucrats, technicians, disbursement clerks, environmentalists, survival trainers, helicopter pilots, painters, a bartender, and a masseuse.

Join Glenn as he -

• spends a night at the South Pole
• interviews field scientists in one of Antarctica's legendary, ice-free "Dry Valleys,"
• uses the only cash machine on the entire continent, and
• visits the century-old expedition huts of explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton

 Hear - 

• the cackling and bleating of 3,500 Adelie penguins in the world's southernmost rookery, -
• the gentle trickling of 4,000-year-old water from an ancient glacier, and
• the throaty roar of a drill boring a mile-and-a-half hole in polar ice.
