A certain song comes on and you're looking at something, you know, incredibly beautiful.

And when I did a TV show called Pilgrimage, we learned about thin space, which is this

idea of a moment in time between heaven and earth type thing like an incredible sunset or a gust of wind that reminds you of someone or something like that you know and this project was was full of those incredible things that you'll probably only ever see once you know like antarctica being an amazing example but yeah there was an there was there was a

really phenomenal sunset in Arizona, but like something that you couldn't quite believe was happening.

Tom Beard, who directed Finding Michael, was documenting this journey with us.

And we agreed to kind of climb this hill together early evening the night before the Arizona Ironman.

So that we could get a good look at the landscape and where we'd be going.

And around the time that we got up to the top of this hill, there was a big group of people on top of this viewpoint that we were off to.

And quite hard to describe it.

There was this incredible...

beam of light kind of cutting through the clouds that was just beaming down into Arizona but bright bright orange kind of you know pink orange purples and then the clouds kind of gradually cleared and it just revealed this insane sunset and there are people there that go and look at the sunset all the time and said they've never seen anything like it and it's obviously the only night that we're there so it felt lucky and

And I immediately think about my brother Michael and, you know, sent a picture into the group, family group, and everyone literally was like, that's Mike, you know, straight away because it kind of felt that way.

So that felt like thin space to me.

Antarctica is such a kind of threatening, but also beautiful place.

You know, it's somewhere that you'll see, you know, I'll probably never see it again, potentially, but also very threatening, very, very frightening.

There's something there.

kind of tremendous about it.

Do you know what I mean?

It's very barren and seemingly dangerous, but also very beautiful.

Honestly, there's so many moments.
