South Atlantic – third day at sea. Huge icebergs floating in the navy-blue ocean. We saw albatrosses and dolphins in the
morning – they are fast and it is not easy to photograph them. The waves are still high and the temperature onboard is
rising: we are more and more excited. Tomorrow the ship will finally reach Bouvet Island. How will be the weather? Shall we
land or not?
We have quite large group of TCC members. On their list Bouvet is recognized as separate country or territory. If they will
land, they will gain an extra point!
We had a lecture about Bouvet. The island has only 49 sq.km of land but the glaciers cover 93 percent. Rocky cliffs up to
500 m high and glaciers reduce access to the coast. Bouvet usually is cloaked in clouds or thick fog. 20 passengers (but not
me) want to be in the first zodiac. The leader announced: there will be a lottery!
