the legendary antarctic explorer, peter mulgrew, seen here on an earlier flight. this is like a great new world and i m sure it is for all of you back there. because air new zealand s dc-10s never touch down in antarctica during the eight-hour flight, pressure is on the pilots to descend only as low as possible. he was trying to show his passengers something of what they paid for. after all, this was a visual sig sightseeing flight. this is an expectation that when you get on that airplane, i expect that we re going fly down there and i m going to get to see the penguins and i m going to get to see the terrain and i m going to get to be a tourist and sightsee. but antarctica is as dangerous as it is beautiful. deputy police officer ted robinson is stationed at scott base at the foot of mount
