Previously on
Maritime Masters...

We're in
the Angostura Inglesa.

All right, welcome.
Everyone is buckled up?

Permission to start dive...

So, good morning,
everybody.

Absolutely beautiful.

Cape Horn
is at the end of the world.

So many shipwrecks,
so many sailors' deaths.

Over 100 times
going to Antarctica,

we never made it
to shore in Cape Horn.

We're in Cape Horn,
we made it.

I'm very proud
and honored to do that.

Scenic Eclipse
is preparing to leave
the port of Ushuaia.

Ahead of them,
Antarctica.

One of the most beautiful
and extreme environments
on Earth.

Something the ship's crew
have long planned for.

Dear guests, good evening,
it's your captain,

Captain Erwan from the bridge.

Well, it's a very special,
very unique moment
right now

as we are getting ready
to sail 1,000 kilometer
further south

in Antarctica.

So, have a great,
great evening and enjoy.

Gangway closed,
it's clear. Thank you.

Sorry for speaking French,
uh, Jason.

The captain of, uh, the ship
over there, was my cadet.

- Oh, really?
- Fifteen years ago.

- Now he's captain, so there is a kind of respect.
- -Right.

And, uh, he's coming alongside
on the other side
under the winds,

so he wants me to protect him
so he can come alongside.

So he's asking me
if we can delay 20 minutes

and act as a wind...
windbreaker.

Winds are close to
70 kilometers per hour in
the port of Ushuaia

causing a difficult situation
for docking.

Respecting the mariner's code,

Captain Erwan has delayed
Scenic Eclipse's departure
for now.

If you don't mind
a slight delay...

You know, you'll see
when we're in Antarctica,

we are in control there
all the time.

There is no one else
but the expedition ships
in Antarctica.

Just us.

And particularly
when it's an old friend there.

Chef Tom
is making use
of this final opportunity

to acquire fresh produce.

-So good to see you again.
-So good to see you.

- How's the season?
- Amazing.

For this trip, we have
only one chance,

always Antarctica,
to get whatever we need.

So most of the time we go
actually to the vendor.

We can actually see
how challenging Antarctica is

from a culinary standpoint.

Oh, wow, look at this.

Darling, I need that.

I think it's really important
that we, uh, create
a good friendship,

uh, so when we come,
it's always nice
to see each other

so they help each other out.

Watermelon.

Huge as ball.

- Huge as your heart.
- Yes.

Look at that.
We're getting a crate
for sure.

They're beautiful, Lola.
They're amazing.

Really, uh,
best shrubs I've seen here...

Fantastic.

Everything will be there
in one more hour.

-I love you.
-Okay.

Thank you, Lola.
Thank you for everything.

Out on the dock,
Chef Tom's local produce
has arrived on time.

In Antarctica, we are not able
to sort in between,

so what we're trying to do now
is we care about our produce
as good as we can.

So it's like our babies.

So I think
the most challenging
we have onboard is fruits.

The more fragile stuff
like the strawberries,

like the cherries...

You need to be
very, very careful

because we know
we have the cherries
for maybe four, five days.

So we kinda give away
first cherries...

Here's the bananas.

If you open the banana box
and you leave them in here,

because this
is unnatural light,

the banana think it's daylight
all day long.

So when we start
putting them here
we realize,

"Why is the top box
always faster than the rest
and they're the same stage."

I said, "Let's cover them.
Let's give them a night time
and a day time."

It actually worked,
we figured it out.

So,
that's a good thing.

After a while,
our experimenting, we
found out how it works

and, yeah,
this is the way
how to survive in Antarctica.

Okay.

Okay, so let's go now,
that's perfect.

- Okay, very good.
- -Okay, yeah, bye.

Dear guests, once again,
good evening,

it is your captain
from the bridge.

So if you've not
already done so,

join us on deck five
observation deck...

...for this, uh,
very emotional moment,

very special moment
which is, uh, sailing away
from Patagonia,

from Ushuaia,

Uh,

The end of the world,

and we are going
to the white continent,
Antarctica.

From Ushuaia,
Scenic Eclipse
is heading south,

through the Beagle Channel,
towards the notorious
Drake Passage

where the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans meet.

Ever-changing
weather conditions
can produce 40 foot waves

and gale force winds.

It's regarded as one
of the most dangerous
bodies of water to navigate.

0-9-2.

And... and we're pushing up
to about 15 knots.

Georgina,
stop the bow thrusters.

And I'm sure after that
it'll be even less.

Always anticipate
challenges with the weather
in Antarctica.

We have a good plan,
as always,

when you go to polar regions,
you're very humble.

I learned to be very humble
with the weather conditions,
with the ice.

And we'll see
how far we can go.

But, uh,
there is an excitement

because whatever you do
in Antarctica,

it's absolutely magical.

Hi, staff.
Good morning.

Good morning, Captain.
How are you this morning?

Ah, fantastic, fantastic,
look at this weather.

It's...

So it's a welcome surprise,
Captain, definitely.

This is really
a very, very calm
Drake Passage.

I'm sure you can tell us
a few stories.

Yeah, yeah,
I've seen much worse
than this, yeah.

Uh, up to ten meters.

- Yeah, but--
- Oh, wow.

- Um, let's not talk about
that too much.
- Yes.

We don't...
We don't want the wind
and the swell to come and...

We don't want
to encourage it, no.

Yeah, let's enjoy that.

And, Manuel,
we keep the stabilizers on

even if it looks
like it's super calm.

With this little swell
like this,

we never know with the guests.

Some of them are...

Might be a little bit
more sensitive
than others, so...

It's looking good like this
all the way to, uh...

to Antarctica, so...

- But let's keep them all the way.
- -Okay.

Okay?

Scenic Eclipse is fitted
with large stabilizers

to keep the ship
steady for guests.

As water flows
over the stabilizers,

a gyroscope detects
when the ship starts to roll.

The stabilizer fins,
which are 60% bigger

than the average stabilizer
fitted to a traditional ship
of the same size,

adjust up or down
to direct water over
or under them.

This action
creates counterforce,
reducing rolling by 95%.

The calmer than expected
conditions

have given
cruise director, Josh,
an unusual opportunity.

Hey, Marilize.

Yeah, yeah,
I just wanted to check
everything was okay

with Pilates today.

So, we're currently
in the Drake Passage.

You get told
all these horror stories

about how rough it's gonna be
and how there's gonna be
things flying everywhere.

So I think it's a bit
of a mixed demeanor
amongst guests.

Think people are probably glad
that it's not as rough
as what we expected it to be.

- Hello, good afternoon.
- Hello.

We've had
a jam packed day.

We've thrown in
a Pilates class

which is probably
the first Pilates class
in the Drake Passage.

Exhale, go down.

We place our right hand down
and our left hand up

and exhale.
Very good.

A smooth Drake
means a quick trip
for Scenic Eclipse

which is set to arrive
into the Antarctic Peninsula
a day early.

In this part of the world,
preparation is key.

Jordan is checking
to make sure

the Discovery survival kits
are ready to go

for their first
guest expedition.

These are survival blankets.

So, 25 survival blankets
in this kit.

Uh, these right here,
these are standard emergency
food rations.

Hey, Jordan.

- Hey, Jason, how you doin'?
- Good.

- How's the stranding kits inventory going?
- -Yeah, um,

just finishing up
the last barrel here.

So the equipment
that's in the landing barrels

are actually just in case
a weather event happens

or ice moves in

and the Zodiacs
cannot retrieve people
from shore.

Those stranding kits
have shelters, food, water,

everything necessary
for up to 100 people.

Do you know
if the crevasse team
did their full inventories?

Uh, yeah.

One of the things
if you can follow up for me
with the crevasse team

is the nylons perishable,
right?

'Cause obviously
it can get nicked,
it can get cut, whatever.

I just wanna make sure
that they do a full visual.

'Cause Antarctica
is so glaciated

and crevasses
are so prevalent there,

and unfortunate thing,
part of, with climate change

is more and more crevasses
are presenting.

If a guest was to fall
into a crevasse,

that's why I have
certified specialists

and all
the necessary equipment

to be able to help
conduct the rescue.

Simon
from the Discovery team

is guiding guests
through bio-security.

- Hey, guys, you here for bio-security?
- -We are.

Go ahead and come on in.

So far as bio-security goes,

the biggest culprit is, uh,

Velcro on the bottom edge
of your pants.

If you have outdoor pants,
kind of just checking
on that stuff.

Um, so what we're doing
is we're just checking
the cuffs of things,

-things you've worn before.
-Okay.

And so we're looking for dirt,
rocks, um, grass, sand.

Penguin!

- Nice.
- Jumping there.

Cool.

- Fat.
- Fat and bouncy.

Yeah.

There's more penguins.

Dear guests,
here is your captain,

Captain Erwan from the bridge.

Join us on the outside deck.

We have an incredible,
beautiful weather

as we are going to leave...

...the Drake Passage.

You've done it

and what you have
in front of us is Antarctica.

How you doin'?

I love the contrast here
with the snow,

the icescape in the background
and dramatic, black,
vertical rocks.

It's great.

Ah, fin whale
just right there.

Yes.

The world's
second largest whale.

Yes.

Paradise. Beautiful, eh?
It's beautiful today.

But you... I mean--

We are perfect.

- We are perfect where we should be.
- -Three knots...

Yeah, it's good, huh.

Good, here we are.
We've made it.

Scenic Eclipse
has arrived off Paulet Island,

ready for the first
Discovery expedition.

Hey, Boris.

- Morning, Captain.
- Morning, morning, how are you?

Look at this.

Yeah,
it looks fantastic.

-Welcome to paradise.
-Yeah. Incroyable.

Didn't bring sunglasses
this morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Morning.

Are we listening
to all the penguins out here
welcoming you?

Last count,
100,000 nesting pairs.

- Hundred thousand?
- Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Hundred thousand, incredible.

They're my favorite
because I like the way
they jump, you know,

from the ice flows.

Boom, boom.

- Okay.
- -Everything looks good.

Let's go get ready.

In the galley,
Chef Tom and his culinary team

are making sure all 200 guests
are well fed

ahead of their
first Antarctic expedition.

While in the Zodiac garage,

Discovery ornithologist,
Pepe Rojas

is preparing to lead the team
to Paulet Island

to ensure the safety
of the penguin colony.

Copy that.

My name is Pepe Rojas.

I am the ornithologist
in Discovery team
at the Scenic Eclipse.

Thank you, sir.

What a beautiful day.

This opportunity,
this landing in Paulet Island
is great

because we have
a unique opportunity

to get very close
to these Adelie penguins
nesting here.

Right.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Does that make sense for you?
- Yeah.

So, you can see
kinda going above
the beach,

- there is quite a bit of traffic.
- -I see it.

The guided that we guide
the groups along the way.

All ready.

-More? Oh, I--
-No, I think I'm good.

Thank you, again.

We are just...

walking along this side
to make sure

we don't disturb these birds

which are
in a very critical time

just sitting on eggs.

Adelie penguins
nest once a year in spring.

And on Paulet Island,
there could be
up to 200,000 chicks born.

Mom and Dad take turns
to protect the eggs or chicks

while the other is out to sea
to feed.

We need to find a gap
between the colony

with enough distance
to stand a safe route.

Hi. It's a penguin.

The chance to be
so close range to these birds

and see their interactions,

seeing their...
this ecstatic call
between male and female,

seeing how the adults
are feeding the chicks,

seeing how these birds
react to the skuas.

And all of this happening
in front of us
is pretty unique

because these birds
are so used to...

...our interaction
keeping our distance

that it's all surreal,
it's hard to believe.

And we are so close
to see these birds
in natural environment.

People get really surprised
by the penguins.

I wonder if it's a fact
and these birds...

They are kind of adorable.

The experience guests find
is fascinating to see it
in real life.

So, so far, we're happy
with what we have set up here

and also up there
is a nice vantage point

away from the penguins, so...

...we're gonna get everybody.

Finally,
after months of hard work,

the preparation
from the Discovery team
is coming into focus

as they safely escort guests
to their first expedition
in Antarctica.

- Hello, good morning.
- How are you today?

- Very well, and you?
- Very good.

- Please take a seat right here.
- -Copy that.

So, good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

- Morning.
- -Today is your first, uh, ride in the Zodiac.

First group just landing
on the beach now.

Hey, team, welcome
to Paulet Island.

So we have
100,000 nesting pairs
of Adelie penguins,

also some cormorants nesting
right here behind us.

This site is guided.

Above the penguins
down here on the beach,

you can see the trail
marked with flags

and then there's a gap
in the colony

up to the historic hut.

And a view
of a little lake out there.

Got it?

- Tell them--
- I gotta go.

Sure.

- Great.
- Ooh, yeah, that one's a longer one.

-Oh, yeah.
-All right.

Good, we're gonna come up
to the sound of my voice.

Uh, my name is Jason Kelly

and I work
on the Scenic Eclipse

in the Discovery team
as a naturalist.

All right, we're gonna
start making our way

right along
the flag line, please.

There, there's a little chick.
See it sitting up?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Right there.

Tiny chick.

When you count penguins,
you count them in pairs.

So, when we say
100,000 pairs...

Might be 99,000,
might be 102,000 pairs,

but you also have
individual young birds

- that are just wandering around.
- -Yeah.

Those
are not technically counted

but there could be
tens of thousands of those.

They all have two chicks.

You just double that
to 400,000 individual birds.

Incredible.

Now how do we tell
if they're male or female?

- Can't.
- -Unless you watch one lay an egg...

...or you do a blood test,
you cannot tell.

All right, we're gonna
make our way up
towards the hut.

We'll get a little closer
to the penguins.

Just wanna watch
your step here.

So this is the hut
from 1903.

It's called
Larsen's stone hut.

Um, this particular island
has incredible human history

because it was
an overwintering spot,

a forced, unplanned
overwintering

by the Scandinavian group

which was known as the
Swedish Antarctic Expedition.

They came down on a ship
called the Antarctic

and the sound nearby
is named for their ship.

Here's a couple of plaques.

There are the names
of the men.

But they were marooned,
they came in here.

They built
the stone hut out here
and they survived the winters.

The base, they got here late,
but they got...

There were enough penguins
that they could just
stack 'em up like cordwood.

They had to eat the penguins,
eat seals.

Eating penguins
is not a great idea.

They taste awful
as a starvation food,

but it's still food.

So, incredible story
of survival.

Only one man died
in the entire expedition,

but an incredible story
of survival there
on Paulet Island.

Well, everything that
I thought we would see

when we came to Antarctica,
but more phenomenal.

The actual smell
of the penguins here

is unique.

The rocks are unique.
The island's unique.

It's hard to explain
because there's
nothing that we could...

that I can relate it to.

So our team,
working together
like clockwork.

The guests are over the moon.

I mean, literally, it's like
coming to another planet
out here.

We got everyone back on board.

We're gonna bring the rest
of the gear, bio-secure it,

head to our next landing site.
It's about 29 nautical miles
from here.

Have lunch, go assess
the secondary site
for this afternoon.

Brown Bluff and it's gonna be
a continental landing.

In Antarctica,
challenging conditions
are a constant.

Scenic Eclipse is entering
a stretch of water filled
with icebergs.

With almost 90%
of an iceberg's mass
residing below the surface,

navigating such a passage
is an intricate operation

for Captain Erwan
and his team.

- It's still here.
- Yeah.

- They can be beautiful.
- -Yes, exactly.

We're heading to
what's a peninsula.

Right now we're
sailing through

beautiful big icebergs.

We are using the radar.

So, here you have the ship
and you can see
all these yellow dots.

These are the icebergs.

But... we also want to make it
a little bit...

scenic for the guests.

We just want to zig-zag nicely
to offer them beautiful view.

Yeah, this route.

And we'll see all these
by Rosamel over there but...

we know also that
we can come a little
closer and take this route.

Tech, tech, tech.
One, two, three, four.

You can find here
two types of icebergs.

A piece of glacier
that detached...

It can be last week
or even several months,
a few years ago.

Or it can be a piece
of ice shelf.

And these ones
are the tabular icebergs,
the flat ones

that we have right now
in front of us.

The danger here is that,
because it's fresh water,
and it's floating,

there is a big part of it
that is underwater
that we don't see.

It is very
strong solid ice.

So, at the speed
that we're making
about 30 knots,

you would damage the ship.

Also, some of these icebergs
are so big.

They create around them
a current that can be
attracting, that can be

dangerous for the ship.

So that's why we keep this
safe distance

to make sure that
we're not coming too close.

One key feature of
Scenic Eclipse's

Polar Class 6 rating

is its ice strengthened hull.

This means the ship has
thicker steel in the bottom
structure of the hull.

And the frames
that strengthen the hull
are thicker,

reinforced closer together
and almost double the amount
of most other ships.

This gives Scenic Eclipse
the ability to push through
first-year ice.

Scenic Eclipse has reached
Brown Bluff,

a million-year-old volcano
at the northern most part
of Antarctic peninsula.

Today we're
at Brown Bluff.

And we're gonna go
hang out with some
Adelie penguins

and look at some really
incredible geology

that you really
can't find anywhere else
in the peninsula.

My name is Jennifer.

I am on the Discovery team.

And my role on this team
is geologist.

So, I am trying to get
people interested

in looking at
Earth's processes
and rocks and ice.

Being down here
with the wildlife,

with the big landscapes
that are down here,

it just feels...

almost sacred down here.

It's something you can't
recreate anywhere else
in the world.

Oh, I have a backpack.

Where is that at?

Get out
of my way, pops.

I really like coming here.
'Cause I get to talk
about rocks.

And this is one place
where people can see them
and they can care about them.

We're gonna go to the shore
and we're gonna set the...
kind of set the route.

So, make sure that there's...

kind of a place that you can
walk that you're disturbing
the least amount of wildlife.

Have a wonderful
day at...

Thank you!

We'll give you
a report card later.

Go ahead, Lisa.

You can send
the next group.

Perfect! I'll send
the next group down now.

Thank you very much!

Okay. Blue group one,
thank you very much.

You can now head down
to the mudroom.

We're from Canada.

I know it doesn't sound
like it but we're originally
from England.

But we've always wanted
to come to Antarctica.

Always.
It's a bucket list trip.

It's magical.
It's like being on Mars
or the Moon.

-It's a different planet.
-Yeah.

You can grab my arm.

Step onto the Zodiac,
onto the yellow.

- Thank you.
- Take a seat right there.

- Oh, look at that.
- Oh, wow!

They're just doing
their own thing.

That's marvelous.

Here, give you guys
a shore briefing.

First thing is
welcome to Antarctica!

Yeah!

We made it!

We made it!

Once you're out
of the Zodiac,

feel free to grab
a trekking pole here.

Please stay out of the ice.

It's melting, cracking,
falling.

Also the tide's rising.
It's moving around so
we have the trail marked.

So, this is Brown Bluff.

It's probably one
of the coolest geology spots
in the peninsula.

So the penguins are cool,

but the penguins
wouldn't be here
unless you had these rocks.

Unless you had exposed rocks
there'd be no where for these
penguins to nest.

They have to nest
on the ground.

They need to nest
on the ground.

It's not sexy science, right?
Sexy science is whales,
penguins, seals.

Rocks don't move,
they don't breath.

There's nothing dynamic
about rocks.

So you have to be excited
and you have to tell them
why it's cool.

That's actually
an old volcano.

So this is the volcano
that erupted underneath
a glacier.

But these are the rocks
that I think make this place
so unique.

So, these rocks
have rolled down.

So once they got here,
they got shaped by the wind.

And it makes these really
incredible shapes.

They almost look like
you've sculpted them
by hand.

And so what we call these
in geology is ventifacts.

This is really young.

It's ash layers,
it's tough layers.

It's only about
a million years old.

And in geology,
that's a baby.
That's a baby rock, right?

I think guests
had a spectacular time.

I think they're
buzzing right now.

I think everyone is just...
The energy level is so high.

You can feel that people
are really excited to be here.

You've seen the Adelie,
you've seen the gentoo,
you've see the chicks,

seen the geology.

We're heading back
to the ship now

and we're gonna start
repositioning for
tomorrow's activities.

Dear guests,
good evening.

Here is your captain
from the bridge.

We're now going to start
heading south towards
Snow Hill Island.

It's 100 kilometers
to the south.

And we're going to start with
very scenic navigation

through the Fridtjof Strait,
which is just ahead of us.

Let's hope that
the ice conditions,

and the wind conditions
they permits for us
to go further south.

So I wish you a
great, great evening.

Do not hesitate to spend
lots of time outside
even after dinner.

Bon appetit.

We left the Antarctic Sound
last night.

But we looked at the different
options where to find
the spot variable in the area

that is... that has less wind.

We picked here Penguin Island
because of the specificity
of the volcano.

But unfortunately,
the wind is... much more
than expected.

Just because
it's the wind direction.

Yeah, it's sliding down
from the glacier.

We're just looking
if we had to...
what our options are.

Mmm-hmm.

Our expected and scheduled
activity this afternoon
in Penguin Island,

we cannot do it.

So, we're looking
at options.

What do you think?

I think we're gonna
land at...

- For sure, yeah. Yeah.
- If it's coming this way.

We can watch it for
the afternoon if it decreases

back to forecast
for 15 to 20, but...

You think they will not
kayak here around the coast
over there with this?

-They've already
cancelled the guide.
-They have already cancelled?

Conditions
are rough.

Winds are high
all around the area,

and pressure is mounting
on Captain Erwan
to find a location

for a successful expedition.

With strong winds affecting
the guests' expedition
to Penguin Island,

the team pivots to plan B,

a potential beach landing
at Turret Point.

But conditions are worsening.

It's definitely
choppy.

The team are now
going to drop the Zodiacs.

They're going to scout
the two different sites

that we were hoping to do
this morning.

Bridge! Bridge!
Bridge! Jason.

Jason,
go for Bridge.

Yes, Manuel.

Hey, I just wanna let you know
that I'm gonna go ahead
and head to shore

to assess conditions
since the weather
is kicking up with it.

I really wanna make
the determination

if we're gonna keep this going
or if need to break it down.

How's the conditions been
over here on this side?

'Cause I know coming in
it's been pretty nasty.

Oh, yeah, the wind
settled down for a bit.

It's starting to come
back up again.

Kind of
in the lee of the cliffs.

It looked really rough.
Yeah, the right side.

-So we can close this down?
-Yeah.

We had to get all of the team
back to the ship as
quickly as possible.

This is the second
expedition abandoned

due to the unpredictable
Antarctic weather conditions.

Jason and the captain
will need to come up
with a new plan fast.

-Hey.
-Hi, Jason.

-How was it?
-It was rough out there.

-Yeah?
-You know, definitely between
the ship and the landing site,

-Yeah.
-it was so exposed.

As you can see,
it's not getting better...

-No.
-...down south.

So, it looks like tomorrow
we should be able to
find some shelter

-around Cierva Cove.
-Okay.

And Michelson maybe
around the garage anyway
down south.

But I was thinking maybe
this evening with the timing

we should be able to
sail by... Deception.

-A surprise and delight.
-Yeah.

- That would be amazing.
- 10:00, 10:30 we still have

lots of time to reach
Cierva Cove tomorrow.

-And then we spend few days
in the garage.
-Okay.

Well, let's keep the surprise
until later.

Captain Erwan's
plan is to travel
to Deception Island,

a horseshoe-shaped island
formed from the caldera
of an old volcano.

Its large and unusually
safe natural harbor

lies beyond a narrow opening
between high cliffs.

But conditions will need to be
calm enough to make
the passage possible.

As Captain Erwan
leads Scenic Eclipse
towards Deception Island,

in the galley, Chef Tom
is also having to adapt
to the Antarctic conditions.

When you go on
a expedition cruise
to Antarctica,

you need to be extremely
creative and open-minded

enough to change
your menus accordingly.

This place in the world
is just not made for
a set of menu.

Our big mission is to
not use any frozen items.

We want to be sustainable
as possible.

And we want to use products
in the most creative way

all the way
to the end of the source.

So I want to give three
very humble ingredients.

Just lemon, cabbage,
and beautiful goat cheese
local from Argentina.

And I want to do
a beautiful cheese course
for Lumiere.

Lumiere is our little
modern French
cuisine restaurant.

The idea is to make
modern French food.

Meaning, it should
remember your
French ingredients,

but it shouldn't fill you up
as traditional French food.

And it should have a twist
here and there.

After prepping
his humble ingredients,

Chef Tom goes
straight to work
in the kitchen.

The tables have turned
as he puts his own abilities
to the test

hoping to satisfy
the Lumiere chefs
and their guests.

So I baked the whole
lemons and salt

in the oven
for about two hours.

And then make a puree
out of it.

And then took all the kale
and cabbage and dehydrate it.

And when you dehydrate
cabbage, it becomes sweet.

So this is quite salty.

So, it needs something
bitter to go against it.

I don't think we should
overdo the dish themself.

Then put the cabbage on.

And we finish with a
little bit of olive oil.

You have all the textures
there as well.

The texture between
the cheese and cabbage...

It's good.
I'm happy with that.

I hope they like it
as much as we do.

-Okay, how are you tonight?
-Great, thank you.

Okay. We have created
a new beautiful cheese course

- in the kitchen
-Wow!

inspired by the challenges
of Antarctica.

So it's local goat cheese
with a fermented lemon puree

where we used
also the skin of it.

And then dehydrated kale
and red cabbage.

- Lovely!
- Hope you like it as much as I do.

Enjoy.

All right, goat cheese
course is out.

The guests really like it.

They love it
to be honest.

They ate the whole plate.

So, I think you gonna
put it on the menu here.

Perfect. Thank you!

When you sit down
and then you get
the goat cheese

and then the bitterness
of the lemon

and this creaminess together
with the crunchiness

and sweetness of the cabbage
just created a beautiful dish.

It's just after
9:00 p.m. right now.

We are approaching
Deception Island.

It's a caldera.

So basically it's an extinct
volcano that is sunk.

It's quite unique,
these kind of volcano
like this.

When you see one,
there are not so many
on the planet,

it's a good opportunity
to come and sail by.

As numerous guest
activities were recently
affected due to the weather,

Captain Erwan is determined
to find an alternative
opportunity for guests

to ensure this expedition
is a true success.

So I have monitored
the route for you.

- And you can start to reduce a bit, huh?
- -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The entrance
is very narrow.

It looks wide,
but unfortunately
underwater you have rocks.

So there is a very
narrow passage.

This time of the year
there is already
a lot of currents.

So if in addition to this
we have 30 knots of winds,

it's not really reasonable
to go in.

Yeah, yeah,
can we have the fire patrol
on the bridge also, please?

Steady 1-7-0.

Steady course, 1-7-0.

We'll close the bridge, huh?
For the entrance if we go in.

I think it looks like
it's doable, huh?

We'll... Our staff can ask
the people to, uh...

Yeah, to leave us
for the passage.

Right now, we have
current and wind that are
very unstable at the entrance.

So we don't need
to have disturbance
from guests.

We will offer the guests
to possibility to experience

everything from
the observation deck.

But we have
to be very tight.

Okay?

Despite the current
high winds and narrow
entry point,

Captain Erwan has decided
to take on the channel

and enter into the center
of Deception Island.

I need you to be very precise.

I'll give you some advice
in terms of

steering, drifting
and etcetera. Okay?

So in this situation,
you have to react
very quickly. Okay?

The wind is
very unstable, huh?

So I will probably start
a little bit north
due to this wind, huh?

And it'll give us time
to see how much drift we have.

Perfect 2-7-0.

We'll start to feel gusts,
so be ready.

Keep an eye
on the current also.

Like this, 2-7-0.

2-7-1.

2-7-3.

Going to starboard,
five, sir.

2-7-4.

Starboard, ten.

Very good job!

Very well done.

-Captain, I will start on...
-Yes, finish forward.
They can secure everything.

We're inside
the caldera. You see
it's huge. Huge.

It's really exceptional.

They're through.

A testimony to Captain Erwan's
complete trust in his team

and in the power of the ship
to safely navigate

even in the most
difficult environments.

It went very well.

Today was
relatively challenging.

The wind
was quite irregular.

And it feels good
when you succeed
this kind of challenges, yeah.

Well, there is only
one entrance and one exit
which is the same.

So, we're going to
swing around and
start the other way.

That was not an easy one.

Thank you, staff.
Was very good

the exchange of information.

Overnight,
Scenic Eclipse has sailed
to Cierva Cove,

one of the most spectacular
spots in the region.

You know you're
in another planet here.

The contrast between the ocean
and the ice and the mountains
in the background...

It's very...
yeah, very peaceful.

After days
of challenging conditions,

Jennifer
from the Discovery team

is able to lead guests
on a expedition.

- Hello!
- Hello.

- Good morning!
- Good morning!

All right, so I'm
gonna have you come across

and sit at the front
for me, okay?

There's so many
magical things about
coming down here.

You're going somewhere

that less than 1%
of the world will ever see.

And I have the privilege
to come here

over and over
and over again.

So today we're
in Cierva Cove.

We're gonna go
for a Zodiac cruise.

We're gonna see
what we can see,
find what we can find.

Welcome to Cierva Cove!

It's a beautiful
part of Antarctica.

So, these penguins
here are chinnies,
chinstraps.

They're the medium-sized
brush-tail.

It's really cool to look
at the base on the mountain

because it
sticks out, right?

This is a big granite mountain
covered in snow.

When it gets warmer
in the summer,

this mountain
actually is green.

Because we're so--
Oh, there's a humpback whale
in front of us.

Oh, there he is.
Beautiful!

It's been
a long wait.

But it was worth it.

That was
incredible.

This guy could be sleeping.
It looked a bit like that.

They do a few breaths
up and down

and then they take
a deeper dive and
then they'll come up again.

Oh, my gosh!
Right in front of us.
Oh, scared me.

Oh, blood pressure,
way high.

We're gonna make our way
back to the ship slowly,

see what we can see
on our way back.

But thanks for coming out.
This was awesome.

We haven't seen
a whale in here yet.
So that was awesome.

-And seeing it
that close. Yeah.
-That close.

It's just a great day
to be out in here.

We just watched
a sleeping whale like,
in Antarctica.

On the season
finale of the
Maritime Masters...

And, ladies and gentleman,
this is to always keeping
your sense of wonder.

- Oh! Hey, bud.
- Oh, we got penguins
on our left, team.

- Yes.
- We will check them out.

Welcome to the
Lemaire Channel.

One of the most impressive
places on the planet.

And guests and crew
bid farewell to Antarctica.

Whoo-hoo!
