    Ocean currents ... a big deal in the North Sea
      around Scotland, not so much in the South Atlantic.

    Can
      someone explain why this island at 54 degrees south
      

      is so much colder than Scotland, for example, that is
      

      55+ degrees north?  Why is the earth asymmetrical?

        January 31, 2018, 0830 UTC:  Bouvet Island came into view at
        about 0600 UTC
        

        today.  We dropped anchor at 0810 UTC in approximately 25 meters
        of water
        

        off the east side of the island between Kapp Meteor and
        Swarthamaren.
        

        

        The temperature is 2 degrees Centigrade. Thirty five knot winds
        are blowing
        

        out of the northeast with a driving rain.  Visibility and
        ceiling are
        

        estimated at 1 mile and 500 feet, respectively.
        

        

        We are poised and ready when our weather window arrives.  Our
        first strike
        

        team, selecting and securing a site, will be EY8MM, KØIR and
        Alejo Contreras
        

        (Chilean Antarctic explorer, guide and mountaineer).
