Pictures about this awsome expedition are here

While a staff of four people operates a weather monitoring station on the south Islet, Mid Islet and North Cay are uninhabited.
Meager vegetation with small bushes and grass, a lot of boobies, swallows and frigate birds, some crabs and by nightime also green turtles is all what you will find on these lonesome islets. With a diameter of 250m Mid Islet offered the team enough space to build up the camps and antennas
