The Trip
Join Carleton geologist Mary Savina ’72 for this spectacular, 14-day journey featuring a nine-night cruise to Antarctica, Earth’s last frontier. Cruise aboard the intimate Le Boréal, one of the finest vessels in Antarctic waters, combining innovative design with personalized service and featuring private balconies in 95% of her 110 deluxe, ocean-view Suites and Staterooms. Retrace the sea lanes navigated by storied explorers Shackleton, Amundsen, and Scott, not to mention former Carleton President Laurence M. Gould, who was chief scientist and second-in-command on the first Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928-30). Professor Savina will be part of an onboard team of lecturers from a variety of disciplines, and an expedition team of naturalists will lead guided excursions aboard sturdy Zodiac craft amid floating ice sculptures, intricate ecosystems, and abundant wildlife including humpback whales, leopard seals, and Adélie penguins that exhibit little or no fear of humans. Also spend two nights in the five-star InterContinental Buenos Aires Hotel, including a tour of Argentina’s vibrant capital city. Choose to extend your journey with the three-night Iguazú Falls Post-Program Option.
