Bouvet Island
Bouvet Island is an Antarctic Island that is rarely visited by man. It is desolate and 97% ice covered. It was formed by a volcanic eruption approximately 4000 B.C. It is a Norwegian posession and there is a scientific research station there. It will have been 10 years since the last activation and is listed as #2 on the DXCC most wanted list.

Palmyra Island 2016
Palmyra Atoll is a national wildlife refuge and is located about 1000 miles south of Hawaii. It was discovered by chance in 1789 and in 1802, the USS Palmyra shipwrecked there giving it its name.

This was in January-February 2016. The team faced ferocious winds and storms and threatening ice flows. The South Georgia Island team tallied nearly 84,000 QSO's and the South Sandwich Island operation tallied over 54,000 QSO's in very difficult conditions.
