description
Yankee Harbour est un bon mouillage situé sur la côte sud-ouest de l’île Greenwich. Protégé par une Langue de terre à l’ouest, il offre une protection à 360°.
Approche : Rester près de la Langue de terre, à environ 75 mètres.
On y mouille par 10 à 15 mètres de fond, composé de sable et de vase compacte.
Sur la plage, on trouve une colonie importante de manchots papous, ainsi que des skuas, des pétrels de Wilson, des phoques à fourrure, des éléphants de mer et des phoques de Weddell.
Des reliques de l’époque des chasseurs de phoques subsistent sur la berge intérieure : fondations, trypot utilisé pour fondre la graisse, ainsi que des débris d’os de baleine.
Le site est utilisé depuis 1820, et une plaque commémorative rend hommage au capitaine Andrew MacFarlane, explorateur du littoral antarctique.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 13 timer siden (Monday 28 July 09:18 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
