PENGUIN ISLAND DXPEDITION 1990

The South African (RSA) Penguin Islands (26 37'S, 15 9'E) are located off the coast of Namivia, with Namibia left as an intervening country between the islands and the RSA, thus qualifying the Penguins for separate DXCC country status.
RSA operating licenses as well as landing permission from the Department of Environment Affairs were on hand as the multinational ZS9Z/ZS1 operation swung into action.
The Penguin Islands afe just a cluster of barren rocks, today uninhabited. The remaining structures there confirm that a lively guano mining community existed long ago.
The rough landing sites are located along the eastern coast, with the island effectively blocking signals to the west.
All the while, many resident birds flew overhead, swooping low, trying to convince these occasional visitors to leave.
