Day 3-8: Antarctica
With nearly 24 hours of daylight, Lindblad will
make the most of your six days in Antarctica,
whilst keeping a flexible schedule to take
advantage of the unexpected – perhaps
watching a 40-tonne humpback whale surface
off the bow. One day, you may take a Zodiac
foray amid towering bergs under a bright sun,
hike to a summit for a breathtaking view, or
kayak along a cliff-side rookery in search of
blue-eyed shags. The next day you may have
the thrill of watching the ship crunch through
the pack ice, or step ashore to the cries of
thousands of gentoo penguins. You’ll learn
from National Geographic-funded Oceanites
scientists how climate change affects their
populations and get photo tips from a
National Geographic photographer while
watching those same penguins. Back aboard,
an Undersea Specialist may present a video
from that day’s dive – rare images taken up
to 1,000 feet below the surface using an ROV.
Their expert staff will craft an expedition where you will learn more, see more and
experience more. B L D
