Michael: “Hello, Helen? Can you hear me?”

*buzzing*

Michael: “Well, if you can hear me, that’s fine, but what I get from you is a rather strange bird like noise, but if that’s your reply, that’s great. I just rang to say that I’m in the Patriot Hills in Antarctica, 600 miles from the Pole.”

*buzzing*

Michael: “Are you impressed?”

*buzzing*

Michael: *to the crew* “Definately, very impressed!”

*buzzing*

Michael: “Well, I just gonna say that we’re going to the Pole tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon. We’re leaving here about 5 and we’ll be staying there maybe 36, 48 hours. Over.”

*buzzing*

Michael: “Yes, I have got clean underwear.”

*buzzing*

Michael: “Love, the thing is, I really can’t hear your voice very well, so I’ll just carry on and tell you that it’s very nice down here at Patriot Hills, the sun is shining. It’s about, sort of, minus 8 degrees. It will be about minus 25 degrees at the Pole. I’m a bit worried because I only have one set of thermal underwear, but apart from that, I hope I will do the family proud. How are you?”

*buzzing*

Michael: *laughs* Are you? Well, I think you should try using the other one.”
