Entering the Island

Two important information today:

Visiting this site for sure you notice the green logo of this expedition in upper left corner:

You know why is it look like this? Why it has a heart? 

Tristan da Cunha is a volcanic island, and at the top of volcano there is a crater lake. Nothing unusual. The lake is naturally formed and no human chnaged its shape ever. And guess what? It is heart-shaped! You can find some photos in the Internet:

Triastan is usually presented as a volcano island with penguins and not everybody knows about this lovely lake. That is why Margarida decided this part of the island will be our logo. It is simply, but meaningful. We hope you like it!

Want to visit the Archipelago?

Not everybody is aware that you need special approval to enter the Islands. You need to send a request to the Council describing who is coming, when, why and by what. There are not many ships going to Tristan da Cunha throughout the year. You can use your own boat if you have ;-) But still, you need an offical premition.

We wanted to go at the end of November, by MV Baltic Trader. I recived yeaterday an e-mail from them, that this ship has no free places already. So for sure we need to modify our dates. I think we will need to move it to next year, for January, since there is no boats in Decembre. But we will see how it goes. On 26th of June they have the Council Meeting and our request will be discussed. So keep your fingers crossed, because without the approval we can't do anything! Significant date for the expedition! And hopefully, there will be a place on the boat in near future for us!
