Video: 3Y0K equipment transfer begins

It's impossible to watch this video and not be impressed by the operations currently underway in the South Atlantic. 

Chun (@satofishi) is onboard the Argus and is a "field chronicler" for the 3Y0K Bouvet DXpedition. He created the following video.

He provides frequent real-time updates via his X account (@satofishi), sharing photos of the voyage, sea conditions, and the loading of critical gear like helicopters and containers.

“I woke up this morning at 09:40, just in time for the helicopter practice. In the afternoon, when the weather improved, we began flying supplies and personnel onshore. The first test flight took off at 17:02, and we continued with two more passengers and three more cargo round trips until 19:05. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get on the helicopter before sunset.

We will continue transporting the remaining supplies and personnel to the island tomorrow. Hoping the weather will be good.” 

Here is a video Chun posted today documenting the quite impressive preparations being made to put Bouvet on the air:
