Alejandro Selkirk Island

From the Juan Fernandez Islands, which is Charlie Echo Zero Zulu, we have this.

The X-Ray Zero Zulu team reports that key expedition equipment has successfully reached Alexander Selkirk Island, which is IOTA SA-101, in the Juan Fernandez Islands chain, marking an important step toward their planned early October operation.

Fuel supplies, a Honda EU-22i generator, and several antennas have been landed at the village of Selkirk and will remain safely stored there until the operators arrive.

The team says morale is high after months of planning, especially because reaching the remote island requires careful coordination by sea and on the ground.

The biggest challenge, however, will not be managing the pile-ups.

Philippe writes, quote, moving all of our equipment to Selkirk will be one of the major logistical challenges of this expedition, given the island's remote location and difficult terrain, end quote.
