En: Scattered with snow and ice, it is summer in the Tundra Arctaidd. Cy: Enghraifft o anialwch brithion, ond hefyd o harddwch digymar, yw'r safle ymchwil yma. En: An example of patchy wilderness, but also of unparalleled beauty, is this research site. Cy: Mae pyst y station bach, syml, yn gludo'r adeilad wrth y ddaear rhewllyd. En: The posts of the small, simple station anchor the building to the icy ground. Cy: Un diwrnod, wrth i'r gwyntoedd oer chwiban-harmonïo, roedd Gwenllian yn sefyll ar linell yr orwel, sbectrwg wrth law. En: One day, as the cold winds whistle-harmonized, Gwenllian stood on the horizon line, spectroscope in hand. Cy: Roedd hi'n astudio'r dyfroedd iâ gyda tharebion newydd. En: She was studying the ice waters with new methods. Cy: Gwenllian oedd arbenigwr ar fioleg forol gyda golwg dropynog dros chwyldroi ei maes trwy darganfod mawr. En: Gwenllian was an expert in marine biology with a droplet's eye on revolutionizing her field through major discoveries. Cy: Wrth sodro ei sbectrwg, dyma hi'n gweld rhywun yn dodgei'n trwy'r eira. En: While adjusting her spectroscope, she saw someone dodging through the snow. Cy: Aled ydoedd, coedwigwr tawel ond angerddol, un synamor â'r amgylchiadau arctig. En: It was Aled, a quiet yet passionate forester, as astonished as the Arctic conditions. Cy: “Bore da, Aled,” meddai Gwenllian, â'i llais yn atseinio'n y gwynt oer. En: "Good morning, Aled," said Gwenllian, her voice echoing in the cold wind. Cy: “Mae'r môr heddiw yn ymddangos yn llonydd.” Roedd hi'n tynnu eiliad i gydystyried ei eiriau. En: "The sea today appears calm." She took a moment to consider her words. Cy: “Bore da, Gwenllian,” atebodd Aled, tra'n gwyro ymlaen at awyr y tu hwnt, En: "Good morning, Gwenllian," replied Aled, while glancing towards the sky beyond, Cy: “ond mae'r awyrgylch yn ddigon dryslyd. Rwy'n darogan eira yn fuan.” En: "but the atmosphere is quite confusing. I predict snow soon." Cy: Arhosodd fel hyn am rai munudau. Gwylio'r môr a'r nef. En: They remained like this for a few minutes, watching the sea and the sky. Cy: Sbardun gan wefr dirgel, Gwenllian oedd y cyntaf i ddarogan fwy. En: Driven by a mysterious thrill, Gwenllian was the first to propose more. Cy: “A wyt ti'n fodlon ymuno â mi i archwilio ffurfiant iâ lleol? Rwyf wedi gweld rhai siapiau difyr iawn.” En: "Are you willing to join me in exploring the local ice formations? I've seen some very interesting shapes." Cy: Wrth fflachio gwen wamal, Aled cytunodd. En: Flashing a whimsical smile, Aled agreed. Cy: Dechreuon nhw’r daith gyda'i gilydd. En: They began the journey together. Cy: Gwmpasodd yr iâ acw i agweddau newydd gan droseddu troellau rhewllyd gyda'u hysbryd benderfynol. En: They circumnavigated the ice there to new perspectives, traversing icy spirals with their resolute spirit. Cy: Ond er mwyn i'r tywydd ddod yn waeth, gwasangen nhw gario'n eu ymlaen hyd at y caban bychan gerllaw ymhen traflyncin. En: But as the weather worsened, they had to carry on to the small cabin nearby, ultimately reaching it with difficulty. Cy: Roeddent wedi'u trwyddo gan ysgafnder y symudiadau, er eu bod yn gwybod bod rhaid iddynt aros yno tan y storm ffarwelio. En: They were overcome with the lightness of movement, knowing they had to stay there until the storm passed. Cy: Y tu mewn, gyda'r gwynt yn berwi tu allan, cawsant gyfle i siarad yn agored. En: Inside, with the wind boiling outside, they had a chance to speak openly. Cy: “Mae'n anodd iawn, Gwenllian,” dechreuodd Aled yn ddiamddiffyn. En: "It's very difficult, Gwenllian," Aled began vulnerably. Cy: “Gallaf weld eich angerdd chi dros eich astudiaethau, ond mae rhywbeth arall yr un mor bwysig. Cwmni da.” En: "I can see your passion for your studies, but there's something else just as important. Good company." Cy: Gwenllian, erbyn hyn mewn ymdrech i ymennydd, atebodd: En: Gwenllian, now in an attempt to think, replied, Cy: “Mae'r uned hon yn unig iawn. Rwyf bob amser wedi bod yn siwr o fy nod, ond mae yma offeryn cynnig ystyrriaeth hefyd.” En: "This unit is very solitary. I've always been sure of my aim, but there's a tool here that offers consideration too." Cy: Wrth i'r storm sleifio ymaith ar garlam cynnar ynyd, daeth y ddau allan. En: As the storm sneaked away on an early burst of energy, the two emerged. Cy: Roedd yr awyr bellach yn glir, yn llonydd fel cusan tawel o dirwylltoedd yr Arctaidd. En: The sky was now clear, still as a quiet kiss from the Arctic's wilderness. Cy: Er iddynt fynd yn ôl at eu gwaith, roeddent yn gyfoethocach gan y cyswllt a wnaed. En: Though they returned to their work, they were enriched by the connection made. Cy: O'r dydd hwnnw ymlaen, roedd Gwenllian yn ffeindiau cydbwysedd rhwng ei uchelge
