The 14C quote will be wrong. Over a long period of years the average annual max was 17.2C and the lowest annual max. 15.4C.
Yeah, I'm a bit rusty on the specifics of that one. I do remember that the woman said the wind was the most outstanding aspect, and had some impressive slides to illustrate that.
I was also interested in the shark attack, but she didn't really discuss that.

I think the shark attack story got a fair amount of cover in the media at the time.
The wind at Campbell is certainly pretty strong, but at Enderby it is even stronger. The station there has slightly higher temperature means, but the windiness means its extreme maxima for a month are often a little lower than at the Campbell site.
Brutal climate. Sunshine hours are abysmal, wind is constant and while measurable rain doesn't fall anywhere nearly 325 days per year, it falls far more than often enough and on those days it doesn't rain, gloom and a piercing mist is the rule on half or more of them.
On the other hand, Campbell Island isn't a whole of a lot different from most of the other sub-Antarctic hell holes discussed on these threads in the past. Just one more of a string of them that have no permanent residents other than the occasional scientific presence and for good reason.
All of them rate D- or F.
F - disgusting. British winters are terrible enough and I can’t imagine having that year-round. It’s current ‘summer’ forecast is very similar to the winter forecast where I live. Only difference is slightly more sunshine which is a lot stronger when it does come out and longer days. More rain and rainy days too.
An oceanic tundra climate with endless cold gloom, no sun, no heat, no snow. I think I would go insane after a few weeks in this climate. I'd rather live in Yakutsk or Vostok Station, since they are at least sunny.
