IMPORTANT:
The realization of this program and its activities are subject to weather conditions. To land safely, a clear sky with perfect visibility is required, that is why in many cases trips need to be postponed while waiting for adequate weather conditions or an improvement in the conditions of the landing strip. That is why having a tight schedule to do your Antarctic program is not advisable: possible delays of several days must be considered. When scheduling, it is advised to consider a window of several days to gain some flexibility.
King George Island is located at the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula. This is one of the most remote places on earth; therefore, it is hard to reach.
