On January 23, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions marked the 60th anniversary of Lars-Eric Lindblad’s first civilian expedition to Antarctica, where he led the first group of non-scientific travelers, opening one of the world’s most remote regions to curious explorers and forever reshaping how people experience the planet.
That voyage in 1966 laid the foundation for modern expedition cruising. Just one year later, Lindblad brought the first civilian expedition to the Galápagos Islands. From the outset, Lindblad Expeditions was built on the founding principle that expedition travel has the power to reshape how people experience and perceive the world.
