WEBVTT - Living in Antarctica with Engineer Matty Jordan

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The feeling of getting to Antarctica for the first time

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and seeing the landscape is the most amazing experience ever.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>We fly down on planes and we land on a

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>runway that's made of ice, so when you step off,

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you're wearing all of your cold weather gear to keep

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:30.159
<v Speaker 1>you safe and warm in the cold environment. And the

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>first time you step off the plane, the first breath

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that you take is so cold it almost almost hurts

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>your lungs because you're not quite expecting it to be

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>as cold as it is.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>That right there is engineer Maddie Jordan. Now, engineering is

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>always fascinating, but especially so when you have to work

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>in the coldest place on Earth. That's because Maddie works

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>in Antarctica, where he builds and maintains all sorts of

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff from how to science labs for all the researchers

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>who do incredible science down there, and he also enjoys

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>hanging out with penguins. Welcome to Growing Up, the Lingo

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Kids podcast that encourages kids to dream big and discover

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>who they want to be. Join us on an epic

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>adventure to uncover the secrets behind awesome skills, cool hobbies

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and the incredible journeys of people who followed their dreams.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 3>This sand castle is huge, Emily. I love the walls,

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>the towers and the little windows.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>We did a great job of Louise. Now, just a

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.639
<v Speaker 2>few more scoops of sand to make sure the base

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.079
<v Speaker 2>is really strong.

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>There. No, Emily, it's still missing something.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>What's that, Louise, ha a flag on the tippy top there.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Now it looks like a real castle. Now we can

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 3>make the rest of the sand kingdom. Let's make houses

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 3>and a little town with the bakery at the barber shop.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And hold on, Louise. If a big wave comes, it'll

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>crash the sand castle.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you're right, we need.

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>To protect it. Got any ideas?

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>So we can't stop the waves? No, so what if

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 3>we make a hole like around the whole castle?

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh?

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 3>So when the water comes, it fills it up.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a good idea, Louise. Instead of hitting the castle,

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the water will fill the We got it.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Pass me that shovel, Emily.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Here you go like this, Emily, it looks like a circle.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>All right. Oh, watch out for that wave, Louise.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Whoa, that was close, Emily.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that circle you drew was a great idea. Sounds

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>like you were thinking just like an engineer, Louise.

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>An engineer, yep.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 2>An engineer is someone who tries to solve problems. For example,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>we just had a problem, which was how to make

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>water not hit the castle, and you came up with

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a solution.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I get it. So if I'd lose a toy

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and I find it, then I'm an engineer.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Well not quite, Louise. You see, in order to solve problems,

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>engineers build things, just like you made that circle and

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the sand. Engineers are all around us.

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Really, where are they, Emily?

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Well see this water bottle I have right here. It

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>was made by an engineer.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, And what about those beach houses over there?

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>They were made by engineers too.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>In the car we got to go to the beach with.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>An engineer made the car and the road too. Engineering

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>is all around us, Louise. That's why we're having an

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>engineer on the grown up Talking Game show today.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Really, no way, Please tell me it's someone who builds

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>sand castles.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, he does build things, but not from sand. He

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>makes buildings on ice.

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Ice. No way.

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>His name is Maddie Jordan. He's one of a kind

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>because he works in the coldest place in the world.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Very few engineers in the world get to be there.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 3>Where's that, Emily.

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>It's called Antarctica and Tarctica.

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 3>You got it.

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Antarctica is a very large continent made entirely of a

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's at the very south of our planet.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I see, But wait, if it's so cold, do many

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 3>people live over there, Emily?

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Actually very few people do. In fact, it's the only

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>place on Earth without countries. No one lives there full time.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Wait does that mean the only people there are just visiting?

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.119
<v Speaker 2>The weather conditions are so harsh that the only people

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>who go there go for work.

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing, Emily. But what are they working on there?

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, lots of scientists go there to study wildlife, you see.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of animals in Antarctica, seals, birds, whales, and

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>of course penguins.

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I love penguins, Emily. I wonder what it's like to

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>be in the cold all the time.

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of cold, let's get some ice cream to cool

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 2>off from this heat and get ready to talk to

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 2>this Antarctic man.

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 5>Sure, let's go. Oh brain freeze, Emily.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you think living in Antarctica is like having a

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 3>brain freeze all the time.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I wouldn't put it like that, but it is

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>very cold and very dark. You see, groups of scientists

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>go to Antarctica every year to study our planet's climate,

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.479
<v Speaker 2>and they need good places to stay while they're there.

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Imagine this, Louis. They can only stay there for nine

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>months at a time because of the freezing cold and darkness.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 3>I've got chills just from thinking about it. How do

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 3>they stay warm? Do they make a fire?

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Well that's where our guests comes in. These Antarctic visitors

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>need light and heat, so engineers like Maddie build shelters

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>for them to be safe. Isn't it great that he

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 2>gets to work in one of the most special places

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>on the planet.

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 3>So Maddy gets to solve problems and build amazing things

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 3>on ice.

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That's right?

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, I have so many questions. Let's go.

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to our growing up talking game show. Please welcome

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 2>our very special guest for today, Maddie Jordan, an engineer

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>who's also a true Antarcticon. He's been called Antarctica's biggest influencer,

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's one of the few people in the world

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 2>who gets to live in Antarctica for most of the year.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Please welcome Maddie Jordan. So let's get to know each

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>other a little better. Maddie, my first question is why

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>did you become an engineer in Antarctica.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I think for me this all kick started with being

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>born in a place like Australia, where we have hot

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and dry summers. I was always used to spending my

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>free time at the beach and I didn't actually say

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>snow until I was nineteen years old, so I think

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the one of the drivers.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 3>That's so cool. I've only seen snow a couple of times.

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 3>And as being an engineer in Antarctica any different than

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 3>being an engineer anywhere else.

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 4>There are a lot of things that we do need

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 4>to consider.

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>So generally, if you're building in a city, in a

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>town somewhere, you usually have access to things like a

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>hardware store or somewhere where you can go and get

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>resupplies if you run out of nuts and bolts and

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>things like that.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 4>But we can't do that in Antarctica.

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 3>There's no stores in Antarctica. So what do you have

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 3>to do? Do you bring everything with you exactly?

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>We have to plan really well to make sure that

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>we've got everything that we need. Another thing to consider

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>is that we ultimately need to be self sufficient.

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Self suff self.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Sufficient, self sufficient, you got it. Self sufficient means that

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 2>you can have everything you need without outside I'd help.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh it sounds like you're going through another planet.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how do you have food and water in Antarctica? Maddie.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>So we live in a place where we produce our

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>own drinking water, where we need to treat all of

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>our waste.

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 4>We need to generate our own power.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>We actually take the sea water from the ocean, convert

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that to drinking water, and then that becomes the water

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that we use. So we have to think about everything

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 1>that you would have basically in a small town to

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>live and work safely.

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>That's why engineers are so important in Antarctica.

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they need to think of everything to live there. Maddie.

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I have a question. Have you ever seen penguins up close?

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, I just think they're the funniest and the

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>silliest little animals.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh that's so cool. I love penguins. What are

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 3>they like? I love how they look like they're in

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 3>suits all the time. Are they grumpy? Are they happy?

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>So penguins are really, really funny. And I think the

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that fascinates me with penguins is that's just how

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>curious they are.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Really, what are they curious about?

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>They're really interested in things that aren't quite normal for them.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So I remember one occasion we saw some and they

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>were a really long way away.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Did you get closer?

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>We've got some rules around how close we're allowed to

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>approach them, so we need to stay more than ten

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>meters away from the wildlife. But if we sit down

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and wait for the wildlife to approach us, then it's

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>okay because the wildlife feels comfortable.

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>That must be so magical, Maddie and I think it's

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>always good to remind ourselves that we need to have

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.719
<v Speaker 2>a safe distance from wildlife so that we can respect

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>their environment.

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 3>So what happened with the penguins, Maddie.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 4>We just sat down and waited.

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>About fifteen minutes later, they waddled over as they do,

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>these great big emperor penguins, which can grow to one

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>point two meters, which is about the same size as

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>a young child, sort.

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 4>Of like a five six seven year old child.

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 3>That's almost my size, And my mom calls me a

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 3>little penguins sometimes, and.

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's because you're so curious all the time. I

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the Oh, that's sweet. And how do penguins express their curiosity, Maddie.

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So they come up really close and they look around,

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>they give you a sniff. They might, you know, put

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>their beat down on your boots or something like that,

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>just to check out what this.

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 4>Strange thing is.

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.439
<v Speaker 3>And what do they do next.

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Once they've come over and said hello, they just walk off.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Working in Antarctica sounds great. You can hang out with

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the penguins and everything, except for the cold. I prefer

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 3>the sunshine.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the cold's definitely not for everyone. But Maddie, I

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>understand you actually prefer to be an Antarctica during the

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 2>winter when it's even colder. Why is that?

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 1>My favorite thing in Antarctica was getting to spend the

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>winter down there. Pretty much every day when I walked outside,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I could see the Aurora, the Southern lights, Aurora Australis

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>in the sky, and seeing the Milky Way and the moon,

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and just being in this environment with no light pollution,

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>away from cities, with no noise.

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.239
<v Speaker 3>Wait, what was that aurora?

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Oh, there are these very beautiful bright lights that

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 2>cover the night sky. When you're really close to the

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>North or South Pole and the south they're known as

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the Aurora Australis or the Southern Lights.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh like fireworks, No, I really want to go to Antarctica.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I want to see them.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite things to do was just to

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>go outside of my own lie down in the snow,

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>look up at the sky and the stars and the aurora,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and just be in an environment that's got no noise.

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>There's no traffic, there's no people, you know, shouting, there's

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>no conversations. You can just get away from it and

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>hear complete silence.

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>That sounds so amazing, Maddie. Oh, I'd love to see that. Now,

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 2>tell us a little bit about your work down in Antarctica.

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you love the most about being an engineer there.

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>We had a team of seventeen people at the research

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 1>station that I was based at, Scott Base, and we

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>were all working together to make sure that the base

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>was ready for the upcoming summer. We essentially just make

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>sure that the base is ready for when the scientists

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 1>come back, that everything's stocked, resupplied, cleaned, so that when

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they get back there they're ready to just dive into

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>their research and do the work.

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 4>That they're doing, so we kept the lights on.

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 2>So you basically make sure the buildings where you live

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and work are in good condition and properly heated. That's

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>super important.

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, can you imagine if the heat didn't work, Maddie.

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to go to Antarctica and meet the penguins.

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 3>How can I work there? Like you?

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I think for kids, there is a need for people

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to continue the research and the work that we do

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in Antarctica. So if there are kids out there that

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>have an interest in biology, they can go and study penguins.

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>If there are kids out there that have an interest

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in space, they can go and study physics and astrophysics

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>in Antarctica. If people have an interest in ice or glaciers,

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>they can go and study glaciology and antarctica.

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 4>So there are many options.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think now with kids that are growing up

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four, they are the ones ultimately that

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>are going to continue all of the amazing climate research

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and science that's happening to make the planet a better

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>place to live in.

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Really, that's so inspiring. People with all sorts of interests

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>can see this one of a kind place on Earth.

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm in for the penguins.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>So I just have one last question, Mattie. Where would

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you like your job to take you next?

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a good question. I don't think I'm done

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>with Antarctica. I think I will always stay involved in

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Antarctica in some way. I think for me, this is

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>my passion, this is something that I love, and I

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>don't I just can't see myself doing anything different. I

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>think now that I found I found my passion, I

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>found what I love, and I don't think I'm ever

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>going to let it go.

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for the wonderful chat, Maddie. Now

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>it's game time.

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, game on, Maddie. Today, I want to play this

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 3>or that. So I'm just going to give you two options.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 3>You have to choose between the two of them, and

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 3>then you can just choose as fast as you can

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 3>whichever one you prefer. Are you ready?

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely awesome?

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 3>So first question, get to Intoxica by ship or by plane?

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I would rather go to Antarctic get by a plane

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>because I get really seasick.

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, perfect Number two. Summer or winter.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I prefer the winter just because of the natural environment

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and the experiences that we get seeing the auroras and

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the stars, that for me is really special.

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, next one, sea ice or land ice.

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Or that's that's a tough question because there are like

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 1>multiple different forms of land ice. I'll say I prefer

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>sea ice because that's where we see the penguins.

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Penguin team is my team. And speaking of which, next one,

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 3>talking to penguins or talking to seals.

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, definitely the ability to talk to penguins. That for

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>me would be the most amazing thing. I would love

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to know what's going on in the penguins brain.

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Can I do the next one, Louise?

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Emily Maddie, if you were walking around in Antarctica, would

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 2>you prefer going to the deepest part of the ice

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>or to the highest peak of an Antarctic mountain.

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably go to the highest peak of an Antarctic mountain.

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 1>The tallest mountain in Antarctica is Vincent massif and I

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>think the view from the top of that would be

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty spectacular.

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Amazing. Thanks for playing with us, Maddie.

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about being an Antarctic engineer, Louise.

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>It's so cool being an engineer because you can solve

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 3>so many different problems. You can build buildings, but also

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 3>cars and help other people do what they love the most,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 3>like scientists and penguins.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That's right. And what about Antarctica.

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Antarctica is one of the most magical places in

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 3>the world. You get ice, lots of ice for ice cream,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and you can help out scientists over there too.

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I totally want to go there someday.

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Me too, Emily. Oh, and we can see how to

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 3>penguins you bet.

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for tagging along on this episode of Growing Up

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:22.360
<v Speaker 2>all about Antarctic engineering, exploring and building in the most

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 2>remote place on Earth to solve problems and make the

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>world a better place. Remember, little listener, dream big, and

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>always stay curious. Luis, are you ready for more adventure?

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.160
