Oh the magnificent winter wonderland of Antarctica! It offers endless fun and amazing travel memories. During my trip I ended up at Jougla Point on Goudier Island, which got me reminiscing about working in Public Relations and had me in awe of the world around me. It's the most remote and amazing continent to see! []
It was here that I realised how amazing it is to travel. Here you are away from the busy hard working commercial world. No office blocks, no skyscrapers, no computer issues and no phone calls. A glorious white wilderness of only snow, ice and penguins, with the odd bit of crazy weather!
Opposite Jougla Point sits the British Antarctic Base of Port Lockroy, which I was eagerly awaiting. Rather than have Jougla merely passed off as a stepping stone to Port Lockroy, however this place also left a lasting impression on the travelling Northern Irishman. Penguins slid down hills in this remote terrain as nonchalant as you like!
The previous night we docked off the coast of Goudier Island. Our boat was the MS Expedition, a marvellous red vessel, great place to relax on board with Antarctica outside. Just amazing feeling and the next day we were all set for the landing at this place.
You could almost feel the magic in the air as we left the boat behind and headed for the wonder of Jougla Point. Opposite you could also see Port Lockroy, the UK Antarctica Base which was to be the next stop on the trip. []
The most popular thing to do and see in this tranquil location is to stare at penguins. There are loads of them and you can get some great close up photos and slide in the snow with them.
Jougla Point was a short and sweet trip and indeed ended up being the quickest and shortest landing on my Antarctica voyage. Enjoy it while it lasts!
