Under the sea. Her mother tells Giusy, the little whale, that they’re about to set off on their first journey: destination South Pole. She goes off to the fishing boat to give the exciting news to Ripples and his friends. All four start playing, until Jason ends up on a piece of iceberg where he finds the young penguin Michelangelo, who tells him he is lost. While Icarus tries to figure out how to help him get home, Ripples and the others show the penguin the beach and all the wonders of their underwater world. At the end of the day, on Icarus’s advice, Michelangelo joins the whales on their journey to the South Pole and finds his way home.
