The 3Y0K container is currently en route to Cape Town, with an expected arrival in late November. Our team is now fully focused on preparations for the February 1st, 2026 departure. This includes a series of planning meetings to finalize logistics and camp setup- our top priority at the moment.

Next month, we'll be making the final vessel deposit of approximately $500,000. By that point, our total investment in this DXpedition will exceed $1.5 million. Every contribution helps us manage the significant costs involved, and donations are gratefully accepted via PayPal at donate@3y0k.com to help offset some of the team cost.

We're also looking for additional operators to join the team. If you're interested in being part of this extraordinary adventure,
please reach out to us at admin@3y0.no.

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm-this journey wouldn't be possible without your support!

The 3YØK team remains committed to activate Bouvet Island in 2026. Our project continues and it is on schedule, as planned, with a departure date of February 1, 2026 from Cape Town.

The team has a written contract that dictates how a shortfall of money shall be covered. Multiple members defaulted on that agreement as they for several months were refusing to pay their share of contractual obligations, exposing the team to a large financial risk, shortfall of money and cancellation of this and future DXpeditions. With a total budget of $1,7M, where the team already spent $1,1M, the team has faced severe financial and contractual consequences. Almost all of our equipment like radio and amplifiers are generously loaned by our sponsors, and while the antenna scope is important, it’s a small cost in the total budget.

To protect the interest of everyone involved, the current team members contributed an additional amount of $150,000 of our personal funds to ensure the financial success of the DXpedition. The current team’s commitment is exemplified through this additional contribution as we have focused on avoiding a financial loss for everyone involved due to the breach of contract by former members.

Our focus is now solely on Cape Town logistics and operations to support the February 1st departure date. We are booking flights and working with local stakeholders to ensure a successful start. The team has a good spirit and work well towards a common goal while we want to enjoy this DXpedition. Team spirit is everything when you want to go to the most remote island on the planet. We continue our plan to setup and operate two separate camps on Bouvet, with one camp focused on North America. Camp locations will be dictated by local conditions upon arrival, keeping in mind that safety must always come first.

The leadership group interviewed 4 medical doctors interested to support the DX’pedition, and the Team Doctor will be announced in due course.

Our priority remains to ensure the success of the project. The team continues to focus on the complex logistics necessary for a successful DXpedition and we thank the DX community for their continued support.
