The only way to get to Bouvet Island is by boat. Coming here, you will experience survival on one of the harshest lands in the world. Ice sheets and weather on the island are factors that will help to study future climate change. This is the paradise of penguins, seals, killer whales, humpback whales ...

The small island in the southern Atlantic, north of Antarctica was discovered on January 1, 1739 by French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier. Because he could not lower the boat and chart the exact coordinates, the location of the island was hidden for 69 years. Renowned explorer James Cook did not find this place during the trip in 1772.

The island was later identified by James Lindsay from England in 1808. He accurately charted the coordinates of the island even though he had not arrived there. The Norwegians made their first steps to the island in December 1927. The first building to be erected on the island was a hut in 1929.

A number of ownership disputes occurred when the British claimed to have found the island in 1825 and named it Liverpool. Norway annexed the island in 1930 and named it Bouvet. In April 1964, a lifeboat was abandoned in the small lagoon of the Nyroysa plateau but there were no traces of its occupants.

Capturing the imagination of storytellers, filmmakers, this remote region has been featured in the adventure novel "A Grue of Ice" and the setting for the science fiction blockbuster "Alien vs Predator ”2004. Nyroysa Coast, a small lava plateau created by a volcanic eruption in 1955 northwest, is the place to land on the island.

On the island is a glacier covering 93% of the area and the volcano has ceased to function in the center. The mouth of this volcano is full of ice and is said to be difficult to reach. In 1996, the Norwegian Polar Institute built a research station made from containers on the Nyroysa landing area.

10 years later, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake collapsed containers. Then a storm blew them out to the sea. About 1,574 km from the nearest inhabited land and 1,770 km from Antarctica, this area promises to be the safest place for you to avoid the Covid-19 epidemic.
