  1. “Whoa. I was. Due to be born on Thursday 12th of August, and I was actually a day late born on Friday the 13th, and my poor parents were told that I would never walk. And I hips weren't formed properly and they were told I'd always be in a wheelchair. So, you know, they were obviously devastated by that and as a consequence, my poor dad had a lifelong aversion to Friday the 13th, but they tried this revolutionary new treatment at the time to try and build this special frame to hold my legs in a certain position and I was able to kind of recover. And so a couple of years later I was toddling around and the fine physical specimen you see before you today, but you know, I often think about how lucky I've been to... To not turn out the way they thought I would turn out.”

  2. “So this is a structure called a weather haven and it is absolutely fantastic, very strong once you put it up and metal hoops covered in a strong canvasy material and that's our dining tent and it gets very very toasty in there. But then if you've got nice warm sleeping bag it can be really toasty in your tent maybe minus 20 or so the worst but then you get into your nice warm sleeping bag and stick on your headphones and the only thing to disturb the silence is probably my snoring heard throughout the camp.”

  3. “Not a station, but yeah, a working camp that is put up especially for the purpose, and that snow machine you hear is carting away some of the, let's say, waste that will be flown out back to South America because we have to keep this place absolutely pristine. So everything, and I mean everything, bodily products get flown back out to South America to keep this place as beautiful as it can possibly be.”

  4. “It certainly does roll off the tongue. And there's a community of people from Wales who settled in Patagonia, in South America. And Penn is the word for head. And Gwyn is the word white. So Pen Gwyn, white head. And it's thought that the first Welsh sailors who came over to South America, they saw Magellanic penguins as they're now known and called these birds penguin white-headed birds. But there is still a community of people who speak Welsh in Patagonia. So there is a connection between Wales and Penguins.”

  5. “Oh, that's very cool, so I'm Welsh, I hail from North Wales, born in a place called Sintasif, and living in a place called Flanthervale near the edge of Snowdonia.”

  6. “Yeah, this is definitely not quite as cozy as I'd imagined. So we are sitting in the Weddellsea at the most remote camp in the Antarctic right now. And we are sitting in a tent with a table made of snow and ice and looking out the window we can see a twin otter and some emperor penguins. So it's cool in every sense of the word”
