Craig was having trouble wrapping his head around it.

My head can’t fathom how cold that must feel.

Matty replied –

Yeah it’s incomprehensible until you feel it, and then it’s as cold as you imagined it would be 😂.

This video of Antarctic midday should help the imagination.

@mattykjordan We had a small snow storm last night that has left New Zealand’s Scott Base looking absolutely beautiful today. The clear sky means we can see the moon (who was hiding behind snow clouds yesterday) We love the moon. It reminds us that we’re still on planet earth. #antarctica #antarctic #earth #moon #midday #polarnight #dark #scottbase ♬ original sound – Matty Jordan | Antarctica
