3Y0K -- Bouvet Island (Update February 21st)

>From 3Y0K Web page (edited by OPDX):

- February 2026 News Update -

The 3Y0K team departed Cape Town this morning aboard the Danish registered

vessel Argus from Ice tugs, beginning the 1,500‑nautical‑mile transit to

Bouvet Island.

Argus completed scheduled maintenance and survey work prior to her arrival

in Cape Town, ensuring full readiness for the voyage. Earlier this week,

the expedition helicopter was loaded, inspected, and secured on deck.

Both the vessel and the aircraft have successfully passed all required

inspections. We appreciate the strong commitment demonstrated by the

pilots, mechanic, expedition guides and vessel crew as we move forward

together as one team to make this a successful expedition.

The captain and crew are performing excellently, and the team is enjoying

good meals prepared by the ship’s chef. Despite encountering rough seas

during the first day at sea, preparations continue onboard as we expect

to arrive at Bouvet on February 26th at approximately 08:00 local time.

Further updates regarding our band plans and DQRM strategy will be shared

as we approach the island.

We extend our sincere thanks to all contributors for your continued

Support!
