Attached is a map of Elephant Island.
We had hoped to make a Zodiac landing at Point Wild on the north side of the island in the morning of January 6, 2014 however the surf and waves did not allow it.
We made a Zodiac landing on Cape Lookout in the afternoon of January 6th as highlighted on the map.
