Described by Captain James Cook as the most
horrible place on Earth, the South Sandwich Islands are also one of the
most logistically difficult places for a DXpedition. Using only 100
watts and verticals, this experienced team took on the South Atlantic's
tough environmental challenge by heading to Southern Thule - the
planet's most southerly piece of land outside the Antarctic Treaty Zone.
Operating within the remains of an old Argentine base, (and amongst
100,000 penguins!) this video documents the 2002 Microlite DXpedition to
the South Sandwich Islands, and shows how a team set out to bring back
the fun of old-time DXing.VP8THU South Sandwich Islands DXpedition Full
