There is simply nothing bad to say about this expedition... - the quality of the expedition crew was first rate in terms of qualifications, organization, friendliness and knowledge/skills in their field. safety and education always came first but never at the expense of having fun. - the ships crew was first rate, from the captain to the hotel staff to the catering staff. Got us there & back safely and in comfort, not to mention with full stomachs! - we were kept as busy as we wanted to be, ie, when not doing zodiac tours, camping, snowshoeing, mountaineering, kayaking, etc, we were giving scientific and historical lectures. In short, this voyage not only met my expectations but exceeded them, memories I'll never forget.Text
