You are wondering where on earth is Jougla Point! The answer is in Antarctica. It is on a remote island called Goudier Island. I was gasping in awe of my surroundings at Jougla, amidst a flurry of snow and penguins. I also got thinking about my time spent in PR in London. []
This place served as a reminder to me that travel is really about seeing new places and having amazing experiences and in this fantastic wonderland I was many miles from those busy office blocks of a big city! The commerical world is out of your mind as you wake up in a world of endless snow, strong blizzards, penguins and complete wilderness. Just amazing!
Jougla sits nicely on Goudier Island. My visit there was special as the adjoining part of Goudier Island houses a British Base - Port Lockroy! Jougla Point was the first stop off that day and prepared me for the epic trip across to Port Lockroy. It's unlikely I will visit Port Lockroy again but the place left a lasting impression - sliding penguins and in the background a flying British flag!
We had docked the previous night off the coast of Goudier Island. We had a nice relaxing time on our ship the MS Expedition on route to Jougla Point. Everything was perfect and all set for the next day's landing at this place.
There was a sense of magic in the air when a snowstorm greeted our departure from the ship and over to the small Jougla Point. This is the adjacent island to Port Lockroy, the British Base. []
There were lots of penguins at this remote location, you've kind of got to expect that when you're in Antarctica!! I got a few close up photos of a Gentoo penguin.
Jougla Point was probably our quickest and shortest Antarctica landing. It was all quite surreal and I'd give a lot to be standing back there right now in a blizzard miles from civilisation.
