On October 22, 2016 , Lindblad Expeditions will begin an incredible adventure in the Southern Ocean which will involve both the National Geographic Explorer and Orion. Orion will depart Ushuaia, Argentina first, bound for South Georgia and the Falklands. Explorer will leave two days later.
A team of extraordinary individuals will join Lindblad on the Orion for the ultimate celebration of the Shackleton centennial and our 50th anniversary of the birth of expedition travel. Upon arriving at South Georgia, Peter Hillary and Jamling Tenzing Norgay (sons of the first men to summit Mt. Everest–Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay), Guy Cotter, one of the world’s leading mountaineers and Tommy Heinrich, another mountaineering legend, will join me to recreate the historic crossing of South Georgia from King Haakon Bay in the south to Stromness Bay–30 miles across mountains and glaciers.
On this 18-day expedition cruise, you will discover some of the most spectacular wildlife on earth, including king penguins, elephant seals, black-bowed albatross, rockhopper penguins, and more.
