On the 26 September 2021 Clive Glass our guide took us to the summit of the island. It was a dream to climb to the famous "Queen Mary's peak", a peak located 2062 meters above sea level. The window period to climb this summit is usually very short and good days are very rare. So a unique opportunity not to be missed. We were all prepared!

Thank you very much. Not one single piece of plastic there! It is simply amazing. Untouched nature. The most exhilarating climb of my life… hopefully I will go back there soon. Winter is here. I saw the first snow dropping on the summit on the 1st May

Yes indeed. The ptoblem is that the weather needs to be perfect. The wind from the South for few days and at least 12 hours of clear sky! Hopefully I will be back there soon. Hopefully in the snow this time and not the ice!

Wow. What a place it is, a snow-capped peak in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Once-in-a-lifetime experience. This place seems to be a hiker’s paradise. If local people and local government find it appropriate, they may develop a hiking track and one or two huts at or near the peak for a night stay. I am sure hikers and tourists will find it most attractive to visit this remote island. But not sure how much the pristine nature and environment will be damaged due to such commercialism and interference in the life of locals. We humans are the biggest enemies of this earth and its natural beauty. Wherever we go, we spoil the nature by the weapons of commercialism. Still a very good V-Log.

Is there a reason why you chose to go there in September? Is that the time of year when there is the highest chance of good weather? Very good documentary!
@alexwonner7469
@alexwonner7469 4 месяца назад
Not really. They are only very few days a year when there is a “window” of opportunity. The sky must remain clear at least for 12 hours. The weather can change very quickly there. Only the Tristanians know when the weather is right. The wind must also blow for a certain direction. Mainly from the South. So only few days a year are suitable.

Great video - rare to see such a detailed climb to the top of the peak and the heart lake. Apparently the peak is a trip all islanders must do once in their lives - like it’s their Mecca! Did you visit The Ponds? Apparently there are fish in them. And what about Sandy Point - on the warmer more sheltered east side of the island? Sandy Point has a forrest and fruit orchard that the islanders visit in “happling season” to pick apples and pears.

It looks like an easier climb than Mount Fuji. I think I could manage it. A 2 day trek would be better, with one night at the summit, camp out under the stars.

The plateau areas at roughly 750m is relatively flat and surprisingly void of wildlife. It surprises me that it’s not more covered in denser shrubs and potentially even trees (on the sheltered lea side of the island). I know it gets windy and cold up there and perhaps the soil is not rich enough?

It is indeed a very remote island. Only 8-9 ship per year are coming here from Cape Town. Few cruiseships as well. And sometime the sea is too rough and the passengers cannot come ashore. That’s why it is such a unique and unspoiled mountain…
