We have crossed continents. We're now at the tip of
South America, and we're here on the appointed day
for our departure from Punta Arenas. The plane's behind us, but the weather conditions
round here are apparently unlike anywhere else on Earth, and the final decision as to whether
we go or not rests with the pilot and the weather station here at
Punta Arenas Airport. So there seem to be a lot of
low-pressure areas on this map. What do you estimate the chances
at the moment? 50-50, at this time. If you're a gambler I'll give you
a little better odds

We have crossed continents.
00:00:03.008 --> 00:00:04.096
We're now at the tip of South America,
00:00:04.096 --> 00:00:08.084
and we're here on the appointed day for our departure from Punta Arenas.
00:00:08.084 --> 00:00:10.088
The plane's behind us,
00:00:10.088 --> 00:00:13.008
but the weather conditions round here are apparently
00:00:13.008 --> 00:00:15.068
unlike anywhere else on Earth,
00:00:15.068 --> 00:00:18.092
and the final decision as to whether we go or not rests with the pilot
00:00:18.092 --> 00:00:22.002
and the weather station here at Punta Arenas Airport.
00:00:22.002 --> 00:00:26.028
So there seem to be a lot of low-pressure areas on this map.
00:00:26.028 --> 00:00:28.028
What do you estimate the chances at the moment?
00:00:28.028 --> 00:00:30.072
50-50, at this time.
00:00:30.072 --> 00:00:33.028
If you're a gambler I'll give you a little better odds.
