Inside The Zone
Located just below 60 degrees
south, the South Orkney Islands are one of only four DXCC entities within
the UN Antarctic Treaty Zone. Both Britain and Argentina have scientific
bases on the islands, but neither nation holds a recognized sovereign claim.
But even without national bureaucracy, staging a major DXpedition to a
stateless, international piece of land is still challenging and expensive.
Icebergs, rugged cliffs, and strict environmental regulations are just a few
of the reasons why these islands are so difficult to activate.
Against the backdrop of stunning Antarctic scenery find out what took for
the MicroLite Penguins to bring another one of the DX world's most unique,
and most
wanted, on the air.
