The 3YØK team departed Cape Town this morning aboard the Danish registered vessel Argus from Icetugs, 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.
