According to information from K0IR and K4UEE, an exceptional expedition to the island of Peter I. is planned for the beginning of 2005: 3Y0X. The plan is as follows:
| The date | Action |
| 12.01.2005 | Team meeting in Chilean Punta Arenas |
| 13.01.2005 | Boarding the Antarctic Dream (www.antarctic.cl) |
| 14.01.2005 | The start of the cruise directly to the island of Petra I. |
| 20/21/01/2005 | Unloading cargo by helicopter (weather dependent) |
| 21.01.-02/05/2005 | Operation on bands, ship anchored off the coast |
| 02/05/2005 | Leaving the island |
| 10.02.2005 | Landing in Punta Arenas |
Continuous operation of four to six stations with great power is expected for two weeks on all bands from 160 to 10m, SSB, CW, RTTY a PSK31.
Equipment is sponsored by IcomAmerica, Alpha Power, Force 12 and SteppIR. On the page www.peterone.com you can see the complete list of sponsors.
Operators will be: K0IR, K3NA, K4SV, K4UEE, F2JD, HB9AHL, HB9BHW, LA6VM, NP4IW/6, N2WB, N4GRN, N6OX, UA3AB, W0RUN. A few invitations have not yet been issued, so the list may be extended. There is also a list of alternates, please contact K4UEE at mallphin@aol.com if interested.
Financial coverage in the world is provided by: W3WL (NA/SA), JA1ELY (AS), F2JD (EU/AF) and ZL2AL (ZL/VK/PACIFIC). Please take into account that this is a very demanding project. On the website www.peterone.com you will find details on how you can help us.
Peter I Island
Peter I Island, also known as Peter I Island, is a small, remote island located in the southern part of the Southern Ocean, about 450 km from Antarctica and about 1,400 km from South Georgia. This subantarctic island belongs to Norway and, together with Bouvet Island and Dronning Maud Land Island, forms part of Norway's interest in the Antarctic region. The island is of volcanic origin and its area is approximately 156 km². The highest point of the island is the Lars Christensen volcano, which reaches a height of 1,640 meters above sea level.
The island is permanently covered with ice and snow, while its coast consists mainly of steep and rocky cliffs. The climate is extremely harsh, with frequent storms, strong winds and cold temperatures, making human presence and any permanent settlement difficult. Due to these unfavorable conditions, the island is uninhabited and is primarily used for scientific purposes.
Biologická diverzita ostrova je obmedzená, no nachádza sa tu niekoľko kolónií morských vtákov, vrátane albatrosov a tučniakov, a občas sa v okolí objavujú tulene. Peter I Island má význam najmä pre geologický a klimatologický výskum. Prítomnosť aktívnej sopky poskytuje cenné informácie o vulkanickej aktivite v južných subantarktických oblastiach.
Thanks to its isolation and harsh climate, Peter I Island remains one of the least explored and most mysterious places on Earth. Scientists and researchers who visit here face extreme challenges, but the data obtained are invaluable for understanding climate processes and volcanic phenomena in this part of the world.
