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 Point is part of Goudier Island, a special part of the Antarctica experience for me, as there is the British Base, Post Office and Museum known as Port Lockroy. This small port of call was merely the preview for the big event in my eyes, but it served more than it's purpose. A snowy wilderness and unafraid penguins will be my lasting impression from Jougla Point - a place it has to be sadly said, I will probably never step foot on again.
The previous night we docked off the coast of Goudier Island. Our boat was the MS Expedition, a marvellous red vessel, great place to relax on board with Antarctica outside. Just amazing feeling and the next day we were all set for the landing at this place.
Leaving our boat on the Zodiac for Jougla Point you could feel the magic. The adjacent island from where Port Lockroy, the British Base sits. []
The most popular thing to do and see in this tranquil location is to stare at penguins. There are loads of them and you can get some great close up photos and slide in the snow with them.
On my entire Antarctica trip, Jougla was actually the shortest landing we did. It happened so quick and was over in a flash, but I'd go back anytime just to see those penguins and enjoy the snow blizzard hitting my face!
