We are happy to inform you that all of the VP8STI/VP8SGI team members are now home and enjoying their families after 46 days away.

We are pleased to report that the R/V Braveheart has arrived in Stanley, the Falkland Islands and is making preparations for the arrival of the VP8STI/VP8SGI team.

At this time, we would like to announce several new aspects of the VP8STI/VP8SGI Dxpeditions:

The South Sandwich Islands are a cold and inhospitable place. At 59 degrees south, Southern Thule Island is one of the most remote places on Earth.

The equipment, ~2,400 pounds (1,090kg) on 4 pallets is on the way to New Zealand, scheduled delivery August 26th, and the Advance Team will soon begin their journey to Auckland.

As you may know, when taking almost any type of expensive equipment into another country you must adhere to that country's import laws. Bringing in $40K - $50K of electronics, antennas and computers almost always requires payment of import duties and/or Value Added Taxes (VAT).
