[00:01.14]So, could you give us some background on Marek.
[00:04.24]What kind of person is he?
[00:06.23]In some ways he's not a typical explorer.
[00:08.64]He studied philosophy at university
[00:10.55]and he speaks six languages.
[00:12.92]He likes reading books on his journey.
[00:15.41]One of his favourite authors is Tolken.
[00:18.13]He also writes a lot himself.
[00:20.28]He always uses pencils
[00:21.81]because they don't freeze！
[00:22.97]Right. And this is the question we always ask.
[00:26.23]Why does he do it?
[00:28.14]Well, he wants to test the limits
[00:30.59]of what humans can do.
[00:31.90]When I spoke to him,he told me something very
[00:34.61]interesting.He said that on his journey to
[00:36.50]the poles he learned that everyone has limits,
[00:39.60]but the limits are in us,not outside us.
[00:42.88]Mmm. Has he got any advice for young people
[00:45.84]interested in going on exploration trips?
[00:48.69]Yes...one very good piece of advice is this:
[00:51.82]the key to a successful exploration
[00:54.21]is your brains not your legs,
[00:56.50]and the most important thing is your dreams.
[01:00.21]Mmm... that's very true.
[01:01.89]OK, thanks Matt for that story
[01:04.35]of Marek Kaminski.
[01:05.88]Later we'll talk to...
