A permit to land with helicopter is needed. A permit to land with zodiac is not needed. You can read all this on the https://www.npolar.no/en/regulations-bouvetoya-nature-reserve/

From NPI website: "Landing. Permission to land or stay on Bouvetøya is basically not required."

Yes I did apply for helicopter permit in the early phase back in 2020 which we got. However, just because you have a license to drive a car, you can still take the bus? Not more complicated than that. Asking NPI for a heli permit also serves the purpose that you will get to know if someone else have obtained a permit, so you can redirect your effort to somewhere else. In the same manner if you have the permit, others will be informed. It does happen from time to time that people jump in front of you

DJ4EI killed, others adrift for 11 days:

Looks like this was a different DX-pedition than the one I worked. I don't remember this tragic attempt.

Tnx, Chuck - AA6G

Pretty amazing to see how much of an a$$ hat Mr VK9 can be, while being totally out of the loop when it comes to facts.

N.I.L. indeed (meow!)

From what I've read in the above links, there is no evidence the expedition did not have the proper permits.
Until proven otherwise, and from the expedition's website comments, they obtained the proper permits.

I'd say let the expedition's website show the permit(s).

They have. See page 3.

What a load of hooey manure. Life isn't always full of rainbows and lollipops; this is adventuring in the first degree, not a peer-reviewed scientific expedition run by some bureaucrats in a half-dozen government agencies. They went, they did it, and they came back safe and sound. If they can prove they were legally allowed to be on Bouvet and had permission to operate an amateur radio station then it's a non-issue? Typical that "Some People" would want to dob in the team for maybe cutting a few corners, but they're all adults and capable of making their own decisions. People like this are why we can't have nice things any more. Ask your doctor if Growacet is right for you, mate.

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

You can be unhappy about the amount of contacts and the issues that happened, but carrying it to this level is just plain Nuts!  Why would anyone want to invalidate a Dxpedition even if it was true that a rule was broken?  In this case we know that no rule was broken so it just seems even more crazy and petty!
