oceano Atlântico. A Ilha Bouvet é a mais isolada ilha desabitada do<br>
mundo, estando localizada a mais de 1600 km da Terra da Rainha Maud,<br>
na Antártida, que é o pedaço de terra mais próximo. Além da Antártida,<br>
as outras distâncias a partir de Bouvet são ainda maiores, chegando a<br>
1835 km até a ilha Gough, no território britânico de Santa Helena,<br>
Ascensão e Tristão da Cunha; a 1852 km até a ilha Montagu, no também<br>
território britânico das Ilhas Geórgia do Sul e Sandwich do Sul; a<br>
2498 km até ao cabo da Boa Esperança, na África do Sul; e a 2504 km<br>
até à ilha Marion, no arquipélago sul-africano das Ilhas do Príncipe<br>

Bouvet Island 2016 DXpedition<br>
<br>
Dear DXer - Before sending out a press release, I wanted to share the<br>
following with those fellow hams who generously pledged to financially<br>
support the Bouvet Island 'one-man three-month concept'.<br>
<br>
After press release #3, I was optimistic in terms of securing the<br>
required funding for my expedition. Thanks to so many of you, the<br>
necessary<br>
up-front expenses were getting close to being covered by the pledges<br>
received at that time. I was also hopeful that the larger DX associations<br>
and foundations would step forward to contribute as we were getting<br>
close to realization.<br>
<br>
At this point in time, I have no other choice than to report that the<br>
funding is not sufficient to move forward. As I am sure you know, there<br>
are a number of large DXpeditions being arranged for late 2015 and early<br>
2016, and they are more or less competing for the same resources.<br>
I didn't manage to create sufficient interest among potential external<br>
(non-ham) donors, and my one-man concept is of course somewhat<br>
controversial by nature. Though, I am still convinced that - even if<br>
my particular approach is not necessarily the solution - future<br>
DXpeditioning has to find other forms in order to remain sustainable.<br>
<br>
After having received permission for Bouvet from NPI (Norwegian Polar<br>
Institute), my wife (!), my employer (5 months leave without pay) and<br>
getting close to the sufficient up-front funding (you), this is a bitter<br>
pill to swallow. But I am extremely grateful to all of you for having<br>
lived this dream with me. And not the least to my angel sponsor who<br>
kept things going.<br>
<br>
As I stated from the beginning, don't be sad, someone else will activate<br>
Bouvet! Thank you again for your enthusiasm and devotion to our wonderful hobby.<br>
<br>
73 - Mark - ON4WW<br>
