ARLA/CLUSTER: Grupo da DXpedition 3Y0I reúnem novos fundos para tentarem a activação da Ilha de Bouvet pela segunda vez.

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

A ilha Bouvet é uma possessão norueguesa na extremidade Sul do Oceano
Atlântico (ver mais em http://www.guiageo-europa.com/noruega/bouvet.htm ).

A Ilha Bouvet é a mais isolada, inacessível e desabitada ilha do Mundo,
estando localizada a mais de 1.600 km da Terra da Rainha Maud, na
Antárctida, que é o pedaço de terra mais próximo.

Além da Antárctida, as outras distâncias a partir de Bouvet são ainda
maiores, chegando a 1.835 km até a ilha Gough, no território britânico de Santa
Helena, Ascensão e Tristão da Cunha; a 1.852 km até a Ilha Montagu, no
também território britânico das Ilhas Geórgia do Sul e Sandwich do Sul; a
2.498 km até ao Cabo da Boa Esperança, na �frica do Sul; e a 2.504 km até à 
ilha Marion, no arquipélago sul-africano das Ilhas do Príncipe Eduardo.

O custo de tamanha aventura é tentada periodicamente por várias equipas
internacionais de radioamadores, e é sempre astronómica, sendo que esta é
já provavelmente a DXpedition historicamente mais cara jamais tentada a
nível mundial, tendo em conta, que esta será a segunda tentativa do grupo.

DXpedition news - preparations resumed

Excerpts from an announcement on the 3Y0I Bouvet Island Web page, under
"NEWS", reports the following interesting facts and details of the second
attempt to go to Bouvet Island:

"The 1st attempt took yet another toll".... "we had to cover all costs
involved"... "it’s been a privately funded venture from the very beginning,
we spent as much as 225.000 USDs from our personal funds so far. Only 9% of
our DXpedition budget got covered by donations, so the final impact on our
private monies is huge".

"We estimate that the second attempt would be around 170.000 USDs in
total. It’s less than our initial budget as we have collected a lot of
important equipment already + went under necessary extra-paid training +
secured many things logistically, too".... "we have already secured half of
the required budget to go back to Bouvet.
But after the last aftermath and considering the next suitable time-frames
with safe weather conditions at far South Atlantic Ocean, we’re simply
unable to repair our budget with personal funding this fast.
We face a risk to postpone the expedition, unfortunately. Yes, we did our
best to make it happen last March. Yes, we’re still up to take a second
chance. But this time it may only take place if we receive financial
support to cover at least half of the missing budget, which is 85.000 USDs,
to make 3Y0I coming true. And here’s how you can..."

"To make the fundraising more attractive, once we reach the required
minimum of 85k USDs, we will give donors a chance to win something
special". They list three things on their Web page.

The 3Y0I team now has a "GoFundMe" page to donate at:

It also contains details and pictures of the Bouvet project.
