	Fortuna Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fortuna Glacier, on the island of South Georgia, is a tidewater glacier at the mouth of Cumberland Sound.
		It is the largest glacier on the island, and is notable for two major events in the 20th century.
		Frostbitten and exhausted, with their clothing torn and crusted with sea salt, it was not feasible to set sail again in the wind, currents and huge seas to one of the whaling stations on the island's east side, which was the only human habitation on South Georgia.

	Operation Paraquat
		Fortuna Bay for a Squadron sized attack." The Mission Orders’ tasks were: "To find routes across Fortuna Glacier, Breakwind Ridge and Konig Glacier." Major Delves, the D Squadron commander insisted on an eight kilometer covert approach to the reconnaissance targets for fear of warning the Argentinean garrison.
		BAS’ Director signalled in the clear to his men on Lyell Glacier that: "Moving to Grytviken possibly involves risk of involvement in later fighting."(37) It is a good rule in such matters that when two parties besides the annointed know hitherto secret information many others almost certainly have an inkling of the matter at hand.
		On the glacier Hamilton’s men and their kit were safe but buried cold in the snow.

	BLISS/AQUAMARINE - ALTERNATIVE, UNDERGROUND AND INDIE MUSIC
		Fortuna Pop!, originally based in Leicestershire and now relocated to London, is another of today's most important indiepop labels.
		I've got a batch of releases from them which ideally I should have written about a long time ago but got held up with househunting and so forth, but as said elsewhere, if music is good it matters not that it's not brand new, so on with the reviews.
		The first track here led me to expect an album of commercial 'alternative' rock, but throughout the album there are actually signs that the band are unafraid to experiment with different genres, and this is of course a good thing.

	Falkland Islands - A history of the 1982 conflict
		The BAS scientists warned the troops that Fortuna Glacier was likely to be a hazardous landing area, as it was often swept by blizzards and high winds during the winter, and events were to prove the scientists right.
		A reconnaissance was made of the glacier at first light on 21 April by the radar-equipped Wessex HAS 3 helicopter from HMS Antrim and, although there was some wind and driving rain, conditions seemed suitable for the operation.
		The three helicopters climbed the glacier, sighted the smoke ignited by the troops to indicate their position and wind direction, and landed there during a welcome break in the weather.

		However, a close inspection reveals the glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula are riddled with deep crevasses.
