IOTA EU-019 (not EU-014, as mistakenly announced on DxNews.com, which very rarely makes errors; EU-014 is the reference for Corsica, TK). The team will depart from Murmansk, Russia, on August 25, 2026, aboard a sailboat. The crossing is expected to take 6 to 7 days. The radio amateurs will be hosted at the Polar Geophysical Observatory. Difficult weather conditions are expected, including sub-zero temperatures, wind, and snow. Coordinates 80°27N, 58°03E. QSL
via ClubLog OQRS, LOTW. Franz Josef Land is the northernmost DXCC entity in the world. [This island is located on the European continent, in the Arkhangelsk Oblast (WAZ zone 40, ITU zones 19, 20, 75), above Novaya Zemlya, Svalbard, and the "Northern Land," in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. It is situated between the islands of Champ, Wiener, Komsomol, and Hall. The island has only 4 inhabitants. In 2012, meteorologists reported there were 5, but tragedy struck one of the members of the research team, Mikhail Eremin, who, ignoring safety instructions, left his home alone and was attacked by a polar bear.]
