"Huskies are still very important to Greenlanders and are incredibly friendly. Of course, life in the Arctic is changing quite dramatically, as sea ice is becoming more and more unstable, making traditional hunting more and more dangerous." - Sven Lindblad

In Patagonia's Estero Fuque, National Geographic Resolution navigated into a fjord so new it didn't exist on our charts. Between 2021 and 2022, a glacial lake burst through a mountainside — carving an entirely new bay in a matter of months.

"The Arctic is a realm of profound silence and startling beauty, a place where the ice tells a story of both power and vulnerability. These postcards, by Joshua Vela aboard National Geographic Resolution, remind us of the wonder of these wild places." - Sven Lindblad

For 60 years, we’ve believed exploration should do more: bring guests closer to the natural world while deepening our understanding of it. For Juan Sebastian, our Hotel Director, that comes to life in the moments guests remember most.

"When I travel, I'm chasing a feeling — it's a mix of awe in the moment and the nostalgia I know I'll feel looking back years later." 🌍 Nicole Thornton — Senior Director of Expedition Development #WomensHistoryMonth
