Feat. Dr. Scott Solomon, Associate Teaching Professor of BioSciences.

Inspiring. Exhilarating. Remote and spectacular. Antarctica! Join us for an amazing adventure and up-close encounters. Discover the Antarctic Peninsula, where endless white mountains roll to the horizon and massive glaciers churn icebergs into the sea. Enjoy the penguins with their endlessly amusing antics, gabbling in their rookeries, bobbing by on a blue berg, or catapulting onto the shore. Witness an abundance of marine mammals, with expert narration by a dedicated undersea specialist. See icebergs of epic proportion. Explore by kayak, take Zodiac cruises and walks ashore, and even opt to brave a polar plunge, or you may decide to relax onboard instead, and have a massage! Our passionate expedition team will illuminate each facet of Antarctica through their enthusiasm and knowledge, and learn from the onboard photography experts to capture this amazing experience with stunning photography. Travel with us aboard the 148-guest National Geographic Explorer, a state-of-the-art luxury expedition ship with an ice-strengthened hull and advanced navigation equipment you will be assured by the 50+ years of polar experience at your service. This is sure to be a once-in-a-life adventure with Rice Alumni Traveling Owls, and one not to be missed!
