Keith the stream from this site is renowned for its technical problems. Essentially the infrastructure is complicated because of the environment and the overall lack of broadband capacity in the area.
You will no doubt have seen the quality of the images in the visitor centre but regretfully there is insufficient capacity to stream that quality to the wider world.

Many thanks Mike. As an acoustics engineer I know that impulsive sounds (like chirps and squeaks) require high digital sampling rates to reconstruct high fidelity sounds - so I was not optimistic of a solution. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technologies are pretty advanced, but lowering sampling rates always reduces quality and fidelity. There's still loads of joy in the video data - fingers crossed for EJ, Odin and their brood.
