Arrival in Antarctica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSummer school means space. Space for children to move. Space to think. Space to try new things and explore new directions.<\/p>\n
Jonathan is an explorer and scientist who has worked in Antarctica for many decades.<\/p>\n
In Part 1 of his talk, Jonathan explains the science behind climate change in Antarctica.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.morethanenglish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180712_195304-1-600.jpg\")

Could you share this 1 room shack for 2.5 years with 4 other people?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn Part 2 he captures the students’ attention with his stories of living in a small one bedroom shack, hundreds of miles from other humans for 2.5 years with just three other scientists. They had to rely entirely on themselves. There was no one from the outside to help them. They fixed the shack. They cooked the bread. And when someone had toothache, they removed each others’ teeth using a basic book of dentistry to guide them.<\/p>\n
Sometimes they fell out. Sometimes they argued. But in Antarctica, if you don’t help each other, you won’t survive. They had to learn to forget arguments.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.morethanenglish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Favourite-picture.jpg\")
<\/p>\nWhy do you think this is Jonathan’s favourite picture of Antarctica?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Jonathan told many stories including what they ate in order to consume 4500 calories a day; an 18 day whiteout; and meeting the Queen. And of course, don’t forget the penguins.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, Jonathan emphasises to the students that he was just a ordinary person who chose to lead an extraordinary life.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.morethanenglish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Camp-and-Mount-Vinson-cropped-1.jpg\")
