February 3, 2018, 2000 UTC: During the last 72 hours, we continued to
experience the high winds, low clouds, fog and rough seas that have prevented
helicopter operations since our arrival at Bouvet. No improvement was
predicted in the weather forecast for the next four days. Then, last night,
an issue developed in one of the ship’s engines.
This morning, the captain of the vessel declared it unsafe to continue with
our project and aborted the DXpedition. We are now on our long voyage back to
Punta Arenas. As you might imagine, the team is deeply disappointed, but safe.
There is already talk about rescheduling the DXpedition
