1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: The feeling of getting to Antarctica for the first time

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: and seeing the landscape is the most amazing experience ever.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: We fly down on planes and we land on a

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: runway that's made of ice, so when you step off,

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: you're wearing all of your cold weather gear to keep

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: you safe and warm in the cold environment. And the

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: first time you step off the plane, the first breath

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: that you take is so cold it almost almost hurts

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: your lungs because you're not quite expecting it to be

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: as cold as it is.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: That right there is engineer Maddie Jordan. Now, engineering is

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: always fascinating, but especially so when you have to work

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: in the coldest place on Earth. That's because Maddie works

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: in Antarctica, where he builds and maintains all sorts of

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: stuff from how to science labs for all the researchers

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: who do incredible science down there, and he also enjoys

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: hanging out with penguins. Welcome to Growing Up, the Lingo

Speaker 2: and the incredible journeys of people who followed their dreams.

22
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: This sand castle is huge, Emily. I love the walls,

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: the towers and the little windows.

24
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: We did a great job of Louise. Now, just a

25
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 2: few more scoops of sand to make sure the base

26
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: is really strong.

27
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: There. No, Emily, it's still missing something.

28
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: What's that, Louise, ha a flag on the tippy top there.

29
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: Now it looks like a real castle. Now we can

30
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: make the rest of the sand kingdom. Let's make houses

31
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: and a little town with the bakery at the barber shop.

32
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: And hold on, Louise. If a big wave comes, it'll

33
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: crash the sand castle.

34
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh, you're right, we need.

35
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: To protect it. Got any ideas?

36
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: So we can't stop the waves? No, so what if

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: we make a hole like around the whole castle?

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: Uh huh?

39
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: So when the water comes, it fills it up.

40
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: That's a good idea, Louise. Instead of hitting the castle,

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: the water will fill the We got it.

42
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: Pass me that shovel, Emily.

43
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: Here you go like this, Emily, it looks like a circle.

44
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: All right. Oh, watch out for that wave, Louise.

45
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Whoa, that was close, Emily.

46
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that circle you drew was a great idea. Sounds

47
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: like you were thinking just like an engineer, Louise.

48
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: An engineer, yep.

49
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: An engineer is someone who tries to solve problems. For example,

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: we just had a problem, which was how to make

51
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: water not hit the castle, and you came up with

52
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: a solution.

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I get it. So if I'd lose a toy

54
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: and I find it, then I'm an engineer.

55
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: Well not quite, Louise. You see, in order to solve problems,

56
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: engineers build things, just like you made that circle and

57
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: the sand. Engineers are all around us.

58
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: Really, where are they, Emily?

59
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: Well see this water bottle I have right here. It

60
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: was made by an engineer.

61
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: Oh wow, And what about those beach houses over there?

62
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: They were made by engineers too.

63
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: In the car we got to go to the beach with.

64
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: An engineer made the car and the road too. Engineering

65
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: is all around us, Louise. That's why we're having an

66
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: engineer on the grown up Talking Game show today.

67
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: Really, no way, Please tell me it's someone who builds

68
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: sand castles.

69
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: Well, he does build things, but not from sand. He

70
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: makes buildings on ice.

71
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: Ice. No way.

72
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: His name is Maddie Jordan. He's one of a kind

73
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: because he works in the coldest place in the world.

74
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Very few engineers in the world get to be there.

75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: Where's that, Emily.

76
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: It's called Antarctica and Tarctica.

77
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: You got it.

78
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: Antarctica is a very large continent made entirely of a

79
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: and it's at the very south of our planet.

80
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: Oh.

81
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: I see, But wait, if it's so cold, do many

82
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: people live over there, Emily?

83
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: Actually very few people do. In fact, it's the only

84
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: place on Earth without countries. No one lives there full time.

85
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: Wait does that mean the only people there are just visiting?

86
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

87
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 2: The weather conditions are so harsh that the only people

88
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: who go there go for work.

89
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: That's amazing, Emily. But what are they working on there?

90
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Well, lots of scientists go there to study wildlife, you see.

91
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: There's lots of animals in Antarctica, seals, birds, whales, and

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: of course penguins.

93
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: I love penguins, Emily. I wonder what it's like to

94
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: be in the cold all the time.

95
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of cold, let's get some ice cream to cool

96
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: off from this heat and get ready to talk to

97
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: this Antarctic man.

98
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: Sure, let's go. Oh brain freeze, Emily.

99
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: Do you think living in Antarctica is like having a

100
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: brain freeze all the time.

101
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't put it like that, but it is

102
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: very cold and very dark. You see, groups of scientists

103
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: go to Antarctica every year to study our planet's climate,

104
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: and they need good places to stay while they're there.

105
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 2: Imagine this, Louis. They can only stay there for nine

106
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: months at a time because of the freezing cold and darkness.

107
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: I've got chills just from thinking about it. How do

108
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: they stay warm? Do they make a fire?

109
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Well that's where our guests comes in. These Antarctic visitors

110
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: need light and heat, so engineers like Maddie build shelters

111
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: for them to be safe. Isn't it great that he

112
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: gets to work in one of the most special places

113
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: on the planet.

114
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: So Maddy gets to solve problems and build amazing things

115
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: on ice.

116
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: That's right?

117
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I have so many questions. Let's go.

118
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: Welcome to our growing up talking game show. Please welcome

119
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: our very special guest for today, Maddie Jordan, an engineer

120
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: who's also a true Antarcticon. He's been called Antarctica's biggest influencer,

121
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: and he's one of the few people in the world

122
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: who gets to live in Antarctica for most of the year.

123
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Please welcome Maddie Jordan. So let's get to know each

124
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: other a little better. Maddie, my first question is why

125
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: did you become an engineer in Antarctica.

126
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I think for me this all kick started with being

127
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: born in a place like Australia, where we have hot

128
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: and dry summers. I was always used to spending my

129
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: free time at the beach and I didn't actually say

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: snow until I was nineteen years old, so I think

131
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: that was one of the one of the drivers.

132
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: That's so cool. I've only seen snow a couple of times.

133
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: And as being an engineer in Antarctica any different than

134
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: being an engineer anywhere else.

135
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: There are a lot of things that we do need

136
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 4: to consider.

137
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: So generally, if you're building in a city, in a

138
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: town somewhere, you usually have access to things like a

139
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: hardware store or somewhere where you can go and get

140
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: resupplies if you run out of nuts and bolts and

141
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: things like that.

142
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: But we can't do that in Antarctica.

143
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: There's no stores in Antarctica. So what do you have

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: to do? Do you bring everything with you exactly?

145
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: We have to plan really well to make sure that

146
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: we've got everything that we need. Another thing to consider

147
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: is that we ultimately need to be self sufficient.

148
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: Self suff self.

149
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: Sufficient, self sufficient, you got it. Self sufficient means that

150
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: you can have everything you need without outside I'd help.

151
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: Oh it sounds like you're going through another planet.

152
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you have food and water in Antarctica? Maddie.

153
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: So we live in a place where we produce our

154
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: own drinking water, where we need to treat all of

155
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: our waste.

156
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: We need to generate our own power.

157
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: We actually take the sea water from the ocean, convert

158
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: that to drinking water, and then that becomes the water

159
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: that we use. So we have to think about everything

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: that you would have basically in a small town to

161
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: live and work safely.

162
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: That's why engineers are so important in Antarctica.

163
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need to think of everything to live there. Maddie.

164
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: I have a question. Have you ever seen penguins up close?

165
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I just think they're the funniest and the

166
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: silliest little animals.

167
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: Oh oh that's so cool. I love penguins. What are

168
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: they like? I love how they look like they're in

169
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 3: suits all the time. Are they grumpy? Are they happy?

170
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: So penguins are really, really funny. And I think the

171
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: thing that fascinates me with penguins is that's just how

172
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: curious they are.

173
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: Really, what are they curious about?

174
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: They're really interested in things that aren't quite normal for them.

175
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: So I remember one occasion we saw some and they

176
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: were a really long way away.

177
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: Did you get closer?

178
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: We've got some rules around how close we're allowed to

179
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: approach them, so we need to stay more than ten

180
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: meters away from the wildlife. But if we sit down

181
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: and wait for the wildlife to approach us, then it's

182
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: okay because the wildlife feels comfortable.

183
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: That must be so magical, Maddie and I think it's

184
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: always good to remind ourselves that we need to have

185
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: a safe distance from wildlife so that we can respect

186
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: their environment.

187
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: So what happened with the penguins, Maddie.

188
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: We just sat down and waited.

189
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: About fifteen minutes later, they waddled over as they do,

190
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: these great big emperor penguins, which can grow to one

191
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: point two meters, which is about the same size as

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: a young child, sort.

193
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 4: Of like a five six seven year old child.

194
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 3: That's almost my size, And my mom calls me a

195
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: little penguins sometimes, and.

196
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Maybe that's because you're so curious all the time. I

197
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: the Oh, that's sweet. And how do penguins express their curiosity, Maddie.

198
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: So they come up really close and they look around,

199
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: they give you a sniff. They might, you know, put

200
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: their beat down on your boots or something like that,

201
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: just to check out what this.

202
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: Strange thing is.

203
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 3: And what do they do next.

204
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: Once they've come over and said hello, they just walk off.

205
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: Working in Antarctica sounds great. You can hang out with

206
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: the penguins and everything, except for the cold. I prefer

207
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: the sunshine.

208
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cold's definitely not for everyone. But Maddie, I

209
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: understand you actually prefer to be an Antarctica during the

210
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: winter when it's even colder. Why is that?

211
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: My favorite thing in Antarctica was getting to spend the

212
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: winter down there. Pretty much every day when I walked outside,

213
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: I could see the Aurora, the Southern lights, Aurora Australis

214
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: in the sky, and seeing the Milky Way and the moon,

215
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: and just being in this environment with no light pollution,

216
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: away from cities, with no noise.

217
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,239
Speaker 3: Wait, what was that aurora?

218
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh, there are these very beautiful bright lights that

219
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: cover the night sky. When you're really close to the

220
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: North or South Pole and the south they're known as

221
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: the Aurora Australis or the Southern Lights.

222
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: Oh like fireworks, No, I really want to go to Antarctica.

223
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 3: I want to see them.

224
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to do was just to

225
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: go outside of my own lie down in the snow,

226
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: look up at the sky and the stars and the aurora,

227
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: and just be in an environment that's got no noise.

228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: There's no traffic, there's no people, you know, shouting, there's

229
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: no conversations. You can just get away from it and

230
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: hear complete silence.

231
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: That sounds so amazing, Maddie. Oh, I'd love to see that. Now,

232
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: tell us a little bit about your work down in Antarctica.

233
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: What do you love the most about being an engineer there.

234
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: We had a team of seventeen people at the research

235
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: station that I was based at, Scott Base, and we

236
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: were all working together to make sure that the base

237
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: was ready for the upcoming summer. We essentially just make

238
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: sure that the base is ready for when the scientists

239
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: come back, that everything's stocked, resupplied, cleaned, so that when

240
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: they get back there they're ready to just dive into

241
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: their research and do the work.

242
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: That they're doing, so we kept the lights on.

243
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: So you basically make sure the buildings where you live

244
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: and work are in good condition and properly heated. That's

245
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: super important.

246
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, can you imagine if the heat didn't work, Maddie.

247
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: I want to go to Antarctica and meet the penguins.

248
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 3: How can I work there? Like you?

249
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: I think for kids, there is a need for people

250
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: to continue the research and the work that we do

251
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: in Antarctica. So if there are kids out there that

252
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: have an interest in biology, they can go and study penguins.

253
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: If there are kids out there that have an interest

254
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: in space, they can go and study physics and astrophysics

255
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: in Antarctica. If people have an interest in ice or glaciers,

256
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: they can go and study glaciology and antarctica.

257
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: So there are many options.

258
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: But I think now with kids that are growing up

259
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, they are the ones ultimately that

260
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: are going to continue all of the amazing climate research

261
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: and science that's happening to make the planet a better

262
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: place to live in.

263
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: Really, that's so inspiring. People with all sorts of interests

264
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: can see this one of a kind place on Earth.

265
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: I'm in for the penguins.

266
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: So I just have one last question, Mattie. Where would

267
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: you like your job to take you next?

268
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good question. I don't think I'm done

269
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: with Antarctica. I think I will always stay involved in

270
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Antarctica in some way. I think for me, this is

271
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: my passion, this is something that I love, and I

272
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: don't I just can't see myself doing anything different. I

273
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: think now that I found I found my passion, I

274
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: found what I love, and I don't think I'm ever

275
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: going to let it go.

276
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for the wonderful chat, Maddie. Now

277
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: it's game time.

278
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: Yes, game on, Maddie. Today, I want to play this

279
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: or that. So I'm just going to give you two options.

280
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: You have to choose between the two of them, and

281
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: then you can just choose as fast as you can

282
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: whichever one you prefer. Are you ready?

283
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely awesome?

284
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: So first question, get to Intoxica by ship or by plane?

285
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: I would rather go to Antarctic get by a plane

286
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: because I get really seasick.

287
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Okay, perfect Number two. Summer or winter.

288
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: I prefer the winter just because of the natural environment

289
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: and the experiences that we get seeing the auroras and

290
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: the stars, that for me is really special.

291
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Okay, next one, sea ice or land ice.

292
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Or that's that's a tough question because there are like

293
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: multiple different forms of land ice. I'll say I prefer

294
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: sea ice because that's where we see the penguins.

295
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: Penguin team is my team. And speaking of which, next one,

296
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: talking to penguins or talking to seals.

297
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely the ability to talk to penguins. That for

298
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: me would be the most amazing thing. I would love

299
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: to know what's going on in the penguins brain.

300
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: Oh.

301
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: Can I do the next one, Louise?

302
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: Sure?

303
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: Emily Maddie, if you were walking around in Antarctica, would

304
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: you prefer going to the deepest part of the ice

305
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: or to the highest peak of an Antarctic mountain.

306
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: I'd probably go to the highest peak of an Antarctic mountain.

307
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: The tallest mountain in Antarctica is Vincent massif and I

308
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: think the view from the top of that would be

309
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular.

310
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: Amazing. Thanks for playing with us, Maddie.

311
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: What do you think about being an Antarctic engineer, Louise.

312
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 3: It's so cool being an engineer because you can solve

313
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: so many different problems. You can build buildings, but also

314
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: cars and help other people do what they love the most,

315
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 3: like scientists and penguins.

316
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: That's right. And what about Antarctica.

317
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: Oh, Antarctica is one of the most magical places in

318
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: the world. You get ice, lots of ice for ice cream,

319
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,920
