Peter White 's experience of our world is a little different from most people's. For him it's a world you hear, touch and smell. Seeing is something which has no meaning for him, because he's been blind since birth. But oddly a growing audience of sighted people is learning to see the lighter side of life through his work as a radio reporter.

Narrated by Duncan Carse
Ice and weather dictate whether the RRS John Biscoe 's annual voyage to relieve the bases manned by the scientists of the British Antarctic Survey will be a success or failure.
