An account of a similar lecture in Edinburgh describes his charismatic style of delivery: "'In the centre' he said 'you see the South Pole. Now you've seen as much as anybody else has ever seen". Hearty laughter greeted this opening as he knew it would. He had an orator's gift for dramatic effect and his humour was timed to perfection.'
