Peter Gibbs reaches the 'Roaring Forties'

BBC weatherman Peter Gibbs is all at sea, heading towards the Halley base in Antarctica, which is part of the British Antarctic Survey.

Peter was there in the early 1980s and he is en route back there to do some science and make TV and radio.

He spoke to PM presenter Eddie Mair about his journey through the 'Roaring Forties', the wandering albatross and the night sky.
