| Description: | South Pole Frontier The image quality of the first half is crummy, but Ed Herlihy's narration comes through OK. He talks about Admiral Byrd's flagship entering the Bay of Wales, Antarctica, and a captain's mishap in the frigid waters. (This part is still a little unclear visually but better; narration still fine.) Admiral Byrd climbs off plane at base camp, greets folks. U.S. flag is raised. Man interacts with seals. Heavy equipment on the frozen land; houses. Husky-type dogs buried in snow, just their heads peaking out. | |
