Antarctica Expedition & Wilderness Antarctic Medical Conference, 10 CME. 2014  14 DAYS/11 NIGHTS – November 28 – December 10, 2014 (depart from U.S. & voyage end date) ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER  

EXPEDITION HIGHLIGHTS •  Spend a week exploring Antarctica aboard our fully‐equipped, ice‐strengthened ship. •  40+ years of Antarctic expeditions assures you of the best possible experience. •  Few things compare to a hike, Zodiac cruise or 

kayak foray amid the icescapes of Antarctica.  Glide  around  enormous  tabular  icebergs  by  Zodiac, walk  along  beaches  covered  with  thousands  of penguins,  and  kayak  amid  abundant  wildlife.  Learn about  the  Lindblad  legacy,  dating  from  1966,  as  you travel  with  Ice  Masters,  Expedition  Leaders  and Naturalists who have hundreds of journeys under their parkas.  On  every  expedition,  a  National  Geographic Photographer will give talks and one‐on‐one photo tips in  the  field, where  it  counts.  An  Undersea  Specialist captures  rarely  seen  footage  of  life  beneath  the  icy surface for viewing in the comfort of the ship’s lounge. Join us on our classic Antarctica itinerary.    DAYS 1‐2: U.S./FLY OVERNIGHT TO  BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA  Arrive in the sophisticated city of Buenos Aires, reminiscent of the European capitals, with a vibrant flavor all of its own. Check into the excellent Caesar Park Hotel and join an excursion to view the Beaux Arts palaces on grand boulevards of the old aristocracy; the public art, parks and renowned monuments. We’ll experience the Peron story—in buildings, squares and the Evita Museum—so linked to any understanding of contemporary Argentina.   

DAY 3: BUENOS AIRES/USHUAIA, ARGENTINA/EMBARK  The morning’s LAN charter flight offers rare views of Patagonia before landing in Ushuaia, where we embark our ship. (B,L,D)  

DAY 4: AT SEA Awake this morning well into our journey across the Drake Passage. Lying between Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula, the Drake holds a distinct place 

in maritime lore. Sometimes misty and gray, other times calm and clear, crossing the legendary Drake Passage is unforgettable. (B,L,D)  DAYS 5‐10: ANTARCTICA With long hours of daylight at this time of year, we make the most of our six days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and its surrounding islands. The schedule is flexible to give you the best experience possible. Our veteran expedition team and their expert knowledge of Antarctica’s waters enable us to take advantage of the unexpected. We are out daily — experiencing Antarctica with all our senses as we walk, cruise in Zodiacs, and venture out in kayaks. See seals wallowing on the beach; hear the cries of penguins, and the huge, nurturing silence of this pristine place.        We may sail through the incomparable Lemaire Channel, where a hush falls over onlookers as bergs of beauty and scale drift by. Identify penguins, paddle kayaks through berg fields, and land with Zodiacs on the “White Continent.” (B,L,D)  

DAYS 11‐12: AT SEA Enjoy the ship’s amenities. There is time to watch at the bridge for marine life, to indulge in a massage, work out in the fitness center, listen to presentations from the natural history staff, or catch up on some reading in the library. Celebrate your adventure at our farewell dinner. (B,L,D)  DAY 13: USHUAIA/DISEMBARK/BUENOS AIRES Disembark in Ushuaia with time to explore before proceeding to the airport for our LAN charter flight to Buenos Aires. Fly on an overnight flight to the U.S. (B,L)  DAY 14: ARRIVE HOME  

    OPTIONAL POST VOYAGE EXTENSIONS –  CALL FOR DETAILS:
