March 11. After two+ days of cruising across the South Atlantic from South Georgia, we arrived at Gough Island. From Wikipedia: "Gough Island, also known historically as Gonçalo Álvares after the Portuguese explorer, is a rugged volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is a dependency of Tristan da Cunha and part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha." We're planning to spend a couple of days in the Tristan da Cunha area (although concerns about Covid-19 virus will upset our plans), but Gough Island proves to be beautifully photogenic, as will be seen in blog postings for the next several days.
We begin with the dramatically rugged cliffs of the island, and the first approaches of our zodiacs and kayaks.

Just touring...
