A Visit to Jougla Point in Antarctica

A Visit to Jougla Point in Antarctica

by Jonny Blair

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!

Jougla Point is part of Goudier Island, a special part of the Antarctica experience for me, as there is the British Base, Post Office and Museum known as Port Lockroy. This small port of call was merely the preview for the big event in my eyes, but it served more than it's purpose. A snowy wilderness and unafraid penguins will be my lasting impression from Jougla Point - a place it has to be sadly said, I will probably never step foot on again.

We had docked the previous night off the coast of Goudier Island. We had a nice relaxing time on our ship the MS Expedition on route to Jougla Point. Everything was perfect and all set for the next day's landing at this place.

There was a sense of magic in the air when a snowstorm greeted our departure from the ship and over to the small Jougla Point. This is the adjacent island to Port Lockroy, the British Base. []

There were lots of penguins at this remote location, you've kind of got to expect that when you're in Antarctica!! I got a few close up photos of a Gentoo penguin.

Jougla Point was probably our quickest and shortest Antarctica landing. It was all quite surreal and I'd give a lot to be standing back there right now in a blizzard miles from civilisation.
