Dear Traveller We have pleasure in enclosing our new Antarctic brochure for the vessel 'Alia Tarasova'. As you will see from this brochure, we offer a range of itineraries from the shorter 10 and 11 night cruises between Ushuaia, Argentina and Port Stanley, Falkland Islands to the best locations on the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as two 17 night itineraries which also include South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. The 'Alia Tarasova' is the perfect vessel for the Antarctic Peninsula. With just 90 passenger berths, all in outside cabins with private facilities, she is an excellent size but lacks nothing in passenger comfort. In our one-seating dining room, our European catering staff will prepare and serve international cuisine. There are two comfortable bar areas, a nice lounge for relaxing in the evenings or for lectures and recaps as well as large, spacious decks for watching the spectacular scenery of Antarctica. With a wide range of departure dates we are sure you will find something to suit your needs - join us for a visit to the great white continent of ANTARCTICA and a VOYAGE OF A LIFETIME!

Lars Wikander President Quark Expeditions, Inc.

ALIA TARASOVA EXPEDITION STAFF D E N N I S C . M E N S E , Expedition Leader Since graduating from the University of Hawaii in Marine Biology, Dennis has worked in several positions. He has conducted underwater research on the Crown of Thorns Seastar in the Marshall Islands. He has managed a Fisheries research camp in Northern Manitoba and during his last six years at the University of British Columbia, he conducted fish physiology research. Dennis comes to us from Cortes Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands, just north of Vancouver. Together with his wife Sabina, they formed Midsummer Day Enterprises to pursue their interests in the expedition travel industry: expedition leading, lecturing, dive master, and destination planning. Dennis' travels have taken him across the Arctic regions into the North Pacific, pioneering work in the Russian Far East, from South America into the South Pacific and onto Antarctica. Dennis began leading trips to Antarctica in 1987 and is looking forward to another season in the ice.

A N N A Z U C K E R M A N - V D O V E N K O , Assistant Expedition Leader Anna Zuckerman earned her B.A. in religion and literature at Princeton University. She also studied and instructed dance. Anna then went on to study illustration and graphic design at Art Center in Pasadena, California. Anna has traveled to all seven continents many times over. During her years of travel, she has taken thousands of photographs in the Antarctic, Amazon, Borneo, Galapagos, Indonesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia and the Arctic including the first-ever transit of the Northwest Passage by a passenger vessel from west to east in 198S. Her special interest in photography includes natural history and portraits of people from remote, traditional cultures. A first expedition to Antarctica in 1984 resulted in the publication of the book Antarctica. Voyage to Adventure, which Anna co-authored and illustrated. Her photographs are published internationally and she is currently represented by several well-known photo agents including Tom Stack & Associates and Bruce Coleman Limited. Through her own company, Eye on the World, Anna uses photography to communicate two very important causes in her life — ecological awareness and conservation.

C . A L L A N M O R G A N , Lecturer Allan Morgan is enjoying a checkered career. After graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Umversity of Colorado, he went to work as an electronics engineer for Zenith Electronics Corporation in Chicago. Leaving the big city two years later and returning to Colorado to work for Ball Brothers Research Corporation brought him back to nature. During vacations and on weekends, Allan and his family hiked in the mountains and he became serious about wildlife photography. In 1972, he left his engineering job to launch a new career in photography. Since that time, Allan's photos have appeared in many books, magazines, newspapers, and other publications in many countries including the U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Japan. Allan's photography of whales began around 1970 with the annual California gray whale migration. In 1976, he began to lead whale watching expeditions to Baja, California. As time passed, he travelled on his own as a naturalist, lecturer and expedition leader. He led tour groups to many other areas of the world including Alaska, Australia, Baffin Island, Patagonia, Kamchatka Peninsula, Central America, Amazon, Orinoco, Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica. For the past five austral summers, Allan has made 18 trips to the Antarctic Peninsula. When he is not travelling, Allan lives with his family in Tucson, Arizona in the Sonoran Desert.

P A U L C . D A L R Y M P L E , Lecturer Dr. Dalrymple is a polar geographer who worked in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year 1957-58 as a micrometerologist and who has been the editor of the Antarctican Society Newsletter for the past sixteen years. His primary interest is in the people who have worked in Antarctica as explorers, scientists, technicians, support personnel, adventurers and tourists. He feels strongly that the kind of people attracted to Antarctica, like yourself, are exciting individualists. Dr. Dalrymple wintered over twice in Antarctica in 1957 at Little America V on the Ross Ice Shelf and in 1958 at the AmundsenScott South Pole Station at the geographical South Pole. He was responsible for conducting the micrometeorological programs at both sites and is quite familiar with temperatures below -100°F. From 1966-68, he was program manager for micrometeorology at Plateau Station in East Antarctica. He managed this program from the safety of his stateside home office while younger men carried on the torch. He is currently editor of the Antarctican Society Newsletter where he has continued to maintain his strong Antarctic interests. He has been a personal friend of many of the men who went to Antarctica with the late Admiral Richard E. Byrd. He was a working colleague of the late Sir Hubert Wilkins, knew intimately many of the foremost U.S. scientists responsible for the U.S. programs in Antarctic and worked as a scientist in the International Geophysical Year. Dr. Dalrymple was head of the Polar and Mountain Section of the Quartermaster Corps Research and Development Center. He was a staff member of the Research Directorate at the National Defense University and was a DOD contributor to the National Climate Plan. A 12,000 foot mountain in the Sentinel Range of Antarctica is named after Dr. Dalrymple. He has the Antarctic Service Medal, as well as, a Russian medal for his Antarctic research. Dr. Dalrymple is eagerly looking forward to returning to the Antarctic.

N A R C A M O O R E - C R A I G , Lecturer An outstanding biologist, wildlife artist and naturalist, Narca has lead trips from Alaska to Costa Rica and Arizona to Antarctica. She is also the former president and co-editor of Western Field Ornithologists and frequent contributor of wildlife illustrations to their journal. She combines the observation skills of a biologist with the sensitivity of an artist. Narca is looking forward to returning to Antarctica and will enjoy sharing her many experiences with you.

ALLA TARASOVA SHIPBOARD INFORMATION BAR & WINE SERVICE There is a well stocked bar on board staffed by a Russian barman. Drinks, liquors, spirits, etc. will be supplied through an international ship s chandler. A small but varied list of good wine and champagne will be available in the dining room and the bar. Prices for drinks and wines are kept to a level we think is very reasonable considering the fact that these supplies must be transported to the vessel and the import duties have to be paid. BRIDGE VISITS You are welcome to visit the bridge anytime unless asked to leave by the Captain or officers especially during bad weather. CABINS All 50 cabins have portholes, Each cabin has its own private bathroom with shower and sink. Cabin floors are carpeted. There is ample closet and drawer space plus a small table/writing desk. The beds in each cabin will be converted into a sofa by day and made up into a comfortable bed each evening by the stewardess. Each cabin is equipped with a music and news system with its own controls. When conditions permit, the radio officer will relay news broadcasts. CABIN SERVICE All cabins will be completely cleaned on a daily basis by the Russian stewardesses. There is NO cabin food or drink service available. COMMUNICATIONS The vessel is equipped with satellite telex, fax and telephone. In addition to the satellite communication system, the ship has standard high frequency radio equipment. This can be used to contact European shore stations to make international phone calls. Satellite communication, while very reliable is expensive. One minute of satellite telephone time will cost about US$13, DAILY PROGRAM Each evening you will receive the program of activities for the next day.

DINING ROOM The ships dining room holds everyone at one seating. With the exception of the Captains dinners, seating is not reserved. Meal hours will be posted in the daily program. Superb and varied international menus are prepared by Austrian chefs. The finest provisions have been bought on board from around the world - Norwegian salmon, American beef, French Fois Gras, Russian caviar, etc. There is a carefully selected wine and champagne cellar and a well stocked bar. DRESS ON BOARD In keeping with our expedition atmosphere, the dress code on board stresses informality. Plan to bring comfortable casual clothing for all inside activities, Gentlemen may wish to bring a coat and tie and ladies may bring a cocktail dress for the Captain s Welcome and Farewell parties but this is certainly not mandatory. ELECTRIC CURRENT The electncal supply on board is 220 volts 50 Herz.

ZODIAC INSTRUCTIONS PROPER USE OF THE ZODIAC LANDING CRAFT Much of the success we enjoy on our expeditions is due to the proper handling and usage of Zodiac landing craft. These rubber boats are ideal for our operations. They have shallow drafts, and contain six air-filled compartments which give them impressive floatation and weight-carrying abilities. The compartments are connected by valves which allow the internal air pressure to be regulated, and they will still float even if one (or several) compartments become deflated. With these safe, durable and dependable boats we can land in many normally inaccessible sites; such as, beaches, shallow river banks, rocky outcrops, coral reef flats, ice floes, etc., as well as more conventional places; such as, docks, sea walls and jetties. Passengers, however, must be aware of certain regulations involving the Zodiacs in order to assure adequate safety in our landing operations. 1.

The Zodiac driver is in charge of the boat and its operations. Please follow his or her instructions at all times.

2.

Always wear the provided Zodiac Safety vests when travelling in the Zodiacs. This is for your safety, and is required at all times while in the Zodiacs regardless of weather or sea conditions.

3.

Always accept the helping hands of both crew members and Zodiac drivers when stepping into or out of the Zodiacs at the ship's gangway. Keep both hands free for this operation, and use the preferred "sailor's grip"; i.e., grip each other by the wrist, because this gives a much stronger grip than just holding hands.

4.

Minimize the number of separate articles taken along with you when using the Zodiacs. Backpacks are ideal for consolidating such diverse objects as cameras, binoculars, rain gear, extra shoes, etc. Carryon items may be handed to the boat handlers before embarking or disembarking.

5.

NEVER smoke in the Zodiacs. This is hazardous because there are exposed fuel tanks connected to the outboard engines. Lit cigarettes are also hazardous to the rubber construction of the boats.

6.

All landing conditions will be announced beforehand; i.e., "wet" landings (these may require getting your feet wet by wading ashore), "dry" landings (these make use of a dock or other object with which one can step ashore directly), and expected weather conditions.

7.

Never disembark or embark the Zodiac over the wooden transom (stern) when the boat is backed onto a beach. Oncoming waves may suddenly push the boat higher onto the beach, knocking the careless passenger with the uplifted engine and propeller, or crushing an exposed foot with the very heavy transom. During "wet" landings one may safely get in or out of the boat by first sitting on the rubber pontoon and then swinging one's legs over the side. Always wait for instructions from the driver during landings.

8.

One should always use a weatherproof bag (or bring along a small plastic bag) to protect non-waterproof items; such as, cameras and binoculars, from sea spray (or rain) when in the Zodiacs.

ALIA TARASOVA EXPEDITION STAFF D E N N I S C . M E N S E , Expedition Leader Since graduating from the University of Hawaii in Marine Biology, Dennis has worked in several positions. He has conducted underwater research on the Crown of Thorns Seastar in the Marshall Islands. He has managed a Fisheries research camp in Northern Manitoba and during his last six years at the University of British Columbia, he conducted fish physiology research. Dennis comes to us from Cortes Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands, just north of Vancouver. Together with his wife Sabina, they formed Midsummer Day Enterprises to pursue their interests in the expedition travel industry: expedition leading, lecturing, dive master, and destination planning. Dennis' travels have taken him across the Arctic regions into the North Pacific, pioneering work in the Russian Far East, from South America into the South Pacific and onto Antarctica. Dennis began leading trips to Antarctica in 1987 and is looking forward to another season in the ice.

A N N A Z U C K E R M A N - V D O V E N K O , Assistant Expedition Leader Anna Zuckerman earned her B.A. in religion and literature at Princeton University. She also studied and instructed dance. Anna then went on to study illustration and graphic design at Art Center in Pasadena, California. Anna has traveled to all seven continents many times over. During her years of travel, she has taken thousands of photographs in the Antarctic, Amazon, Borneo, Galapagos, Indonesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia and the Arctic including the first-ever transit of the Northwest Passage by a passenger vessel from west to east in 1985. Her special interest in photography includes natural history and portraits of people from remote, traditional cultures. A first expedition to Antarctica in 1984 resulted in the publication of the book Antarctica. Voyage to Adventure, which Anna co-authored and illustrated. Her photographs are published internationally and she is currently represented by several well-known photo agents including Tom Stack & Associates and Bruce Coleman Limited. Through her own company, Eye on the World, Anna uses photography to communicate two very important causes in her life — ecological awareness and conservation.

C . ALLAN MORGAN, Lecturer Allan Morgan is enjoying a checkered career. After graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado, he went to work as an electronics engineer for Zenith Electronics Corporation in Chicago. Leaving the big city two years later and returning to Colorado to work for Ball Brothers Research Corporation brought him back to nature. During vacations and on weekends, Allan and his family hiked in the mountains and he became serious about wildlife photography. In 1972, he left his engineering job to launch a new career in photography. Since that time, Allan's photos have appeared in many books, magazines, newspapers, and other publications in many countries including the U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Japan. Allan's photography of whales began around 1970 with the annual California gray whale migration. In 1976, he began to lead whale watching expeditions to Baja, California. As time passed, he travelled on his own as a naturalist, lecturer and expedition leader. He led tour groups to many other areas of the world including Alaska, Australia, Baffin Island, Patagonia, Kamchatka Peninsula, Central America, Amazon, Orinoco, Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica. For the past five austral summers, Allan has made 18 trips to the Antarctic Peninsula. When he is not travelling, Allan lives with his family in Tucson, Arizona in the Sonoran Desert.

PAUL C. DALRYMPLE, Lecturer Dr. Dalrymple is a polar geographer who worked in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year 1957-58 as a micrometerologist and who has been the editor of the Antarctican Society Newsletter for the past sixteen years. His primary interest is in the people who have worked in Antarctica as explorers, scientists, technicians, support personnel, adventurers and tourists. He feels strongly that the kind of people attracted to Antarctica, like yourself, are exciting individualists. Dr. Dalrymple wintered over twice in Antarctica in 1957 at Little America V on the Ross Ice Shelf and in 1958 at the AmundsenScott South Pole Station at the geographical South Pole. He was responsible for conducting the micrometeorological programs at both sites and is quite familiar with temperatures below -100°F, From 1966-68, he was program manager for micrometeorology at Plateau Station in East Antarctica. He managed this program from the safety of his stateside home office while younger men carried on the torch. He is currently editor of the Antarctican Society Newsletter where he has continued to maintain his strong Antarctic interests. He has been a personal friend of many of the men who went to Antarctica with the late Admiral Richard E. Byrd. He was a working colleague of the late Sir Hubert Wilkins, knew intimately many of the foremost U.S. scientists responsible for the U.S. programs in Antarctic and worked as a scientist in the International Geophysical Year. Dr. Dalrymple was head of the Polar and Mountain Section of the Quartermaster Corps Research and Development Center. He was a staff member of the Research Directorate at the National Defense University and was a DOD contributor to the National Climate Plan. A 12,000 foot mountain in the Sentinel Range of Antarctica is named after Dr. Dalrymple. He has the Antarctic Service Medal, as well as, a Russian medal for his Antarctic research. Dr. Dalrymple is eagerly looking forward to returning to the Antarctic.

NARCA MOORE-CRAIG, Lecturer An outstanding biologist, wildlife artist and naturalist, Narca has lead trips from Alaska to Costa Rica and Arizona to Antarctica. She is also the former president and co-editor of Western Field Ornithologists and frequent contributor of wildlife illustrations to their journal. She combines the observation skills of a biologist with the sensitivity of an artist. Narca is looking forward to returning to Antarctica and will enjoy sharing her many experiences with you.

Be Safe •

•

•

B e prepared for severe and changeable weather and ensure that your equipment and clothing meet Antarctic standards. Remember that the Antarctic environment is inhospitable, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. • Know your capabilities, the dangers posed by the Antarctic environment, and act accordingly. Plan activities with safety in mind at all times. • Keep a safe distance from all wildlife, both on land and at sea. • Take note of, and act on, the advice and instructions from your leaders,- do not stray from your group. • Do not walk onto glaciers or large snow fields without the proper equipment and experience,there is a real danger of falling into hidden crevasses. • Do not expect a rescue service. Self-sufficiency is increased and risks reduced by sound planning, quality equipment, and trained personnel. • Do not enter emergency refuges (except in emergencies). If you use equipment or food from a refuge, inform the nearest research station or national authority once the emergency is over. • Respect any smoking restrictions, particularly around buildings, and take great care to safeguard against the danger of fire. This is a real hazard in the dry environment of Antarctica.

Keep Antarctica Pristine •

•

•

Antarctica remains relatively pristine, the largest wilderness area on Earth. It has not yet been subjected to large scale human perturbations. Please keep it that way. • Do not dispose of litter or garbage on land. Open burning is prohibited. • Do not disturb or pollute lakes or streams. Any materials discarded at sea must be disposed of properly. • Do not paint or engrave names or graffiti on rocks or buildings. • Do not collect or take away biological or geological specimens or man-made artifacts as a souvenir, including rocks, bones, eggs, fossils, and parts or contents of buildings. • Do not deface or vandalize buildings, whether occupied, abandoned, or unoccupied, or emergency refuges.

Guidance for Visitors to the Antarctic •

•

•

Activities in the Antarctic are governed by the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 and associated agreements, referred to collectively as the Antarctic Treaty System. The Treaty established Antarctica as a zone of peace and science. In 1991, the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties adopted the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, which designates the Antarctic as a natural reserve. The Protocol sets out environmental principles, procedures and obligations for the comprehensive protection of the Antarctic environment, and its dependent and associated ecosystems. The Consultative Parties have agreed that, pending its entry into force, as far as possible and in accordance with their legal system, the provisions of the Protocol should be applied as appropriate. The Environmental Protocol applies to tourism and non-governmental activities, as well as governmental activities in the Antarctic Treaty Area. It is intended to ensure that these activities, do not have adverse impacts on the Antarctic environment, or on its scientific and aesthetic values. This Guidance for Visitors to the Antarctic is intended to ensure that all visitors are aware of, and are therefore able to comply with, the Treaty and the Protocol. Visitors are, of course, bound by national laws and regulations applicable to activities in the Antarctic.

i Protect Antarctic Wildlife

l a k i n g or harmful interference with Antarctic wildlife is prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by a national authority. • Do not use aircraft, vessels, small boats, or other means of transport in ways that disturb wildlife, either at sea or on land. • Do not feed, touch, or handle birds or seals, or approach or photograph them in ways that cause them to alter their behavior. Special care is needed when animals are breeding or molting. • Do not damage plants, for example by walking, driving, or landing on extensive moss beds or lichen-covered scree slopes.

Respect Protected Areas

A variety of areas in the Antarctic have been afforded special protection because of their particular ecological, scientific, historic or other values. Entry into certain areas may be prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by an appropriate national authority. Activities in and near designated Historic Sites and Monuments and certain other areas may be subject to special restrictions. • Know the locations of areas that have been afforded special protection and any restrictions regarding entry and activities that can be carried out in and near them. • Observe applicable restrictions.

Respect Scientific Research

D o not interfere with scientific research, facilities or equipment. • Obtain permission before visiting Antarctic science and support facilities,- reconfirm arrangements 24-72 hours before arrival,- and comply with the rules regarding such visits. • Do not interfere with, or remove, scientific equipment or marker posts, and do not disturb experimental study sites, field camps or supplies.

• Do not damage, remove, or destroy Historic Sites or Monuments or any artifacts associated with them.

• Do not use guns or explosives. Keep noise to the minimum to avoid frightening wildlife. • Do not bring non-native plants or animals into the Antarctic such as live poultry, pet dogs and cats or house plants.

The World Discoverer WAS built in 1974 by European craftsmen. She measures 285 feet in length, 50 feet in beam and has a draft of 15 feet. Power is provided by two MAK diesel engines, rated approximately 2,400 W 1 BHP each, and maneuverability is increased by a 400 HP bowthruster. The World Discoverer is an oceangoing vessel with a cruising range of 8,000 nautical miles, and she has been specifically constructed for exped: tion voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic. Her ice-hardened hull allows • her to navigate easily in the most rugged natural environments, and her fleet of zodiac landing craft permits us to land anywhere nature or curiosity dictates, without disturbing the ecological viability of the landing site. She is classified +AE +AMS ICE A for unrestricted passenger service by the American Bureau of Shipping, and she fulfills all laws and regulations of the Danish State Ships Inspection and the U.S. Coast Guard. She carries a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate issued under the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). She is commanded by European officers.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT O U R EXPEDITIONS TO T H E W H I T E C O N T I N E N T

B

elow 60° S latitude lies the immense white continent of Antarctica, a land like no other in the geography and history of the world. Regarded by scientists and world travelers as one of the last truly pristine regions on earth, it is a place of ethereal icescapes and abundant wildlife. Tireless glaciers churn up gravelly paths on the shoulders of high, unknowable peaks; bluegreen icebergs, some as tall as ten-story buildings, rise out of placid waters; delicately balanced ecosystems cradle the world's food chain. Here, in the austral summer, the sun U
T h e ship has an ice-hardened hull and can safely navigate through these polar waters without risk of damage to the ship, her passengers, or to this pristine environment. WELCOME TO THE BRIDGE . . .

The captain's bridge is open at all times to visitors who seek to learn about navigation, follow the ship's progress on the nautical chart, or just satisfy their curiosity about this area of the ship. Aboard the World Discoverer, the spirit of camaraderie can always be felt among officers, staff and passengers. The staff and lecturers join the passengers at daily casual recap sessions in the lounge and in the single-seating dining room. ZODIACS ARE KEY TO OUR PLAN . . .

These easily launched, versatile craft allow us to land on deserted beaches, explore narrow iceberg-clad waterways, and step ashore on penguin rookery islets. As the key to expedition cruising, zodiacs offer flexibility, speed and convenience in this remote wilderness environment where shoreside facilities simply do not exist. Our zodiac drivers have years of experience in polar waters. The World DiscovererTarries sufficient zodiacs so that all passengers may participate in shore excursions, increasing the time spent in exploration and enriching the Antarctic experience.

No two expeditions are ever alike — Clipper operates the greatest variety of itineraries and sails to the furthest reaches of any passenger vessel operating in the Antarctic and subantarctic waters. WE LEAVE THE ENVIRONMENT UNDISTURBED . . .

Antarctica is a fragile ecosystem and we take care not to put additional stress on the environment. Clipper has a commitment to operating the highest quality, most environmentally conscious expeditions possible. The World Discoverer follows waste-management regulations and adheres strictly to policies and practices designed to minimize any environmental impact. Clipper abides by the Antarctica Visitor Guidelines established by Antarctica tour operators to protect the delicate and pristine environment of this continent. Planners for Clipper have been instrumental in the formulation and application of these guidelines to conduct environmentally friendly tours, a policy that Clipper firmly supports.

The World Discoverer is among the very few vessels in the world specifically constructed for expedition voyages to the far reaches of the Arctic and Antarctic. Her icehardened, double-bottomed hull permits safe exploration in pack ice and ice-clad waters that are not accessible to conventional cruise vessels, which were built for cruising the Mediterranean or Caribbean. Go WlTH EXPERIENCE. . .

The 138-passenger World Discoverer has completed over 50 voyages to Antarctica in more than 16 years of exploring the "White Continent." This ship has set the standard for Antarctic voyages, with its history of illustrious exploration and ecologically sound expeditions. Our captains have explored the world on the World Discoverer, completing historymaking voyages across the Northwest Passage, and sailing farther north and south than any other ship except icebreakers. Our captains and staff have more years of experience in conducting Antarctic expeditions than the staff of any other cruise ship. During ^ their years of Antarctic explora-

tion, they have discovered areas of this vast continent that other cruise operators don't even know exist.

— Log extract,

SMALL SIZE IS AH IMPORTANT BENEFIT . . .

The small size of our ship and its shallow, 15-foot draft allows greater flexibility in the selection of destinations. With easy maneuverability in narrow channels and fjords, the World Discoverer can reach places that other ships can't, and can also closely approach shorelines, allowing more frequent daily landings. We maximize photographic opportunities and the chance to view wildlife up close by taking passengers ashore via zodiacs. Because of the small number of passengers, everyone gets a chance to go ashore at every landing. DESIGNED FOR ICE CRUISING — A MUST . . .

Sea ice was treacherous for early explorers and still is for some of the ships that attempt to cruise through Antarctica's pack ice. These ships bring an Ice Master on board to help provide safe passage, but the ships were simply not designed for cruising these ice-laden waters. The World Discoverer, on the other hand, was specifically designed for ice cruising.

Clipper Consumer Protection Plan

Clipper Ethic for Environmentally Responsible Travel

To assure full financial protection, Clipper will deposit all funds remitted for all voyages by passengers and/or their agents or representatives in a Bank Escrow Account administered by BankAmerica National Trust Company, Escrow Agent, a subsidiary of BankAmerica Corporation.

Clipper Adventure Cruises is committed to minimizing the potential conflict between tourism development and the natural environment by adhering to guidelines established by the world's leading environmental organizations. We comply with waste-management regulations enforced by the U.S. Coast Guard aimed at reducing environmental and aesthetic impact.

Enjoy the brilliant sun of the austral summer.

Exploring Antarctica Up Close The reality of being in Antarctica comes home with a certainty when you board the World Discoverer's motorized zodiac landing craft to go

When zodiacs are launched off the World Discoverer, every passenger aboard has the same potential for adventure. Crew members assist you as you board and disembark your zodiac. Surprisingly, you step out of the zodiac not onto ice or snow, but more likely onto a cobblestone shore or volcanic-sand beach and shindeep water. Warm clothes, a backpack or fanny pack to carry your camera and gear, and a pair of knee-high rubber boots are the only things you need to stay comfortable.

The greatest asset of zodiacs is their versatility. They allow you to journey beyond the ordinary and actively participate in the places you visit. In

A, Zodiacs bringyou safely to short.

ashore and walk on a continent where tew humans have ever been before you. Hot many things compare to the thrill of riding in a zodiac while thousands upon thousands of penguins make their daily march to the sea on a nearby shore and, 100 yards out to sea, a humpback whale spouts jets of water high into the air. As there are no docks in Antarctica, zodiacs are an integral part of your adventure. Sturdy and stable craft developed by Jacques Cousteau for use in worldwide nature study, zodiacs are constructed of highperformance plastimer fabric, with several separate airtight compartments rendering them virtually unsinkable. Each zodiac accommodates 10 to 12 passengers and is piloted by an experienced driver. Unlike some larger cruise ships, the 138-passenqer World Discoverer carries enough zodiacs and drivers to accommodate every passenger who wants to go ashore. No one is forced to wait for the next landing, only to have the weather change and the opportunity lost forever.

Antarctica, you may find yourself spending a good portion of every day aboard a zodiac as one of our ship's naturalists enthusiastically directs your attention to the amazing natural world around you. You 'II cherish opportunities to view porpoising penguins from sea level, to closely examine the ocean-facing surface of a gigantic iceberg, or to land safely and explore the wildlife and bird life found in this remote environment.

CHILE: A BRIEF SUMMARY G

The Pre-Columbian Museum, one of the most important ones in South America, located near the Plaza de Armas, has a complete collection of objects of the American culture before the Spanish Discovery, such as ceramics, ancient textiles, etc. The Natural History Museum and the San Francisco Church Colonial Museum are also considered valuable and outstanding. There are two excellent theatre schools which form and prepare professional actors and technicians as well as produce seasons of contemporary plays, classical dramas and musical comedies. Several commercial theatre companies perform in Santiago during the winter months amongst which we find the most important ones like; La Comedia and Del Angel Theatre and Sala Camilo Henriquez. In order to appreciate these plays and comedies, a certain level of Spanish is recommended for a better understanding.

EOGRAPHY

Chile is a mountainous land with a coastline extending 2.620 miles, and an average width of approximately 110 miles. One third of its area is covered by the Andes. In the North is the barren Atacama Desert, in the center the fertile Central Valley and in the South, the forested Andes decline into the Pacific, followed by the glaciers and fjords that reach down to Fireland across the Magellan Strait, ending at the Antarctica.

Bellavista is one of the most picturesque areas of the capital where there are interesting art galleries, small theatres and a variety of restaurants to visit. Chile is represented by outstanding artists like the late Claudio Arrau, one|of the greatest pianists of the world; Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda, Literature Nobel Prizes in 1945 and 1971, respectively; and Roberto Matta, international reknown painter.

P OPULATION Chile's population is estimated in 13.000.000. It is mainly of Spanish and mixed Spanish-Indian origin, with a strong influence of English, German, Italian, French, Arab and Jewish immigration.

E CONOMY Despite the growing industrialization in Chile, mining and agriculture remain the major elements of the economy. Minerals such as copper, nitrate, iron, ore and lumber account for the largest part of Chile's exports as well as an excellent fruit variety. Principal imports are industrial mining machinery and different types of vehicles. Agriculture is centered in the fertile Central Valley.

TOURS H ALF-DAY SANTIAGO CITY TOUR

C LIMATE Weather conditions in Chile are very distinctive from North to South. While the northern area is always warm and hardly knows the word "rain", Santiago boasts mild, dry climate, never too warm in summer, and too cold in winter. In the Lake District, it is agreeable during summer and rainy from April to November. In the Patagonia it is windy and it snows during the winter months.

Santiago is a city of contrasts with traditional areas, a civic and commercial center and a modern district, which can be visited in about 4 hours. Leaving from downtown we turn west by the Government Palace, down Moneda Street over the North-South Ave. (a link of the Panamerican Highway through the city at lower level) into the older residential area of the west side of town with an interesting architecture. Continue along "Dieciocho" Street with a view on the Cousiho Palace, a luxurious home built by one of the most prominent families in 1878. Returning to the main avenue, many more historical buildings come into sight before reaching the heart of Santiago: the "Moneda" government palace, statues of national heroes of the early Independence years, the banking and business centre. We stop at the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, one of the most complete collections of ceramics, ancient textiles and relics of the American culture. Reaching the Main Square (Plaza de Armas) with the Cathedral, Post Office and National Museum, we turn onto Estado Street, which takes us to the "Alameda". Right in front of us, you will admire the oldest building of the city, the San Francisco church.

P UBLIC HOLIDAYS January 1st (New Year's Day), Easter (movable), May 1st (Labor Day), May 21st (Navy Day), Corpus Christi (movable), June 29th (St. Peter and St. Paul), August 15th (Virgin Mary's Assumption), Sept. 18/19 (Independence Day), October 12th (Columbus Day), November 1st (All Saints Day), December 8th (Immaculate Conception), December 25th (Christmas).

E DUCATION Education is free and compulsory for children between 7 and 15 years of age. The literacy rate is estimated at about 96%, the second highest in Latin America. There have been changes in the educational system and schools are now either privatized or run by the city authorities. Also, there are around 100 universities from the North to the South of Chile; a third of which (private and public) are located in Santiago.

C ULTURALLIFE In Santiago, in all fields of art, there is an intensive activity, including theater, dance, music and plastic arts. The Beaux Arts Museum, at Parque Forestal, has an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures of famous Chilean and international masters of various periods.

t

Proceeding along the main avenue, you can view the National Library and then a small hill and park, the Santa Lucia Hill, where Santiago was founded in 1541. A little further we cross the Mapocho river and head straight towards the San Cristobal Hill on the north side of city with a fine allround view of the city stretched out below, the Andes in the background. Halfway down the hill, a stop for a wine tasting at the Enoteca, a wine museum and showing place of many of Chile's finest wines. When we descend, we are surprised to view the modern side of the city and, driving towards east alongside the Mapocho river and almost to the foothills of the Andes Range, we watch fabulous homes built in the last decades, a fine modern architecture, well kept gardens, exclusive private schools, shopping malls, wide avenues like Santa Maria de Manquehue, Apoquindo and, of course, on the way back to your hotel, the conventional area of Providencia with a large variety of restaurants, coffee shops and fancy stores.

ULL-DAY VINA DEL MAR-VALPARAISO A full day excursion to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar is a "must" to every tourist visiting Chile. We leave the city of Santiago driving always along Highway 68 towards west, crossing the coastal range; after the Lo Prado tunnel, down into the unique Curacavi farming valley and into the Casablanca valley. Nearing the coast we pass by the National Park and its "man-made" Lake Pehuelas and start feeling the cool breeze of the Pacific Ocean. We take the road to Vina del Mar and there, before us, is the gorgeous view of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar simultaneously (weather permitting) by the blue bay. We drive down hill and enter Vina del Mar, Chile's main sea-resort (population now over 300.000). The ride takes us into the old Alvarez Street and by the Quinta Vergara (once the home of the founder's daughter), the Main Square (Vergara Plaza), with the commercial area, theatres and clubs. Across the MargaMarga stream and then through the beautiful residential area with old sycamore trees. Stop shortly at the Fonck Museum with its original Moai brought over from Easter Island. Further on, the Sporting Club and then alongside the coast toward north till Con Con, viewing the beautiful wide beaches and rocky areas in between, with a variety of birds and, sometimes penguins and sea-lions; houses, restaurants and apartments on the other side. Back to Vina del Mar, we stretch our legs a little. Skirting along the coast we spot the Gambling Casino, Wulff Castle, Arab Club, Miramar Hotel and Flower Clock, on towards Chile's main port, Valparaiso. A visit to Valparaiso is a sheer surprise, not only due to its typical architecture and its narrow streets, but also for the ranges of houses clinging on to the hills in an urban landscape intermingled with all kinds of vessels in the ever present bay. Valparaiso is partly built on hills overlooking the bay, and a type of cable-cars or funiculars is still used as a popular and quick means of transportation between the higher and lower levels. In the old port you admire the statue erected to the heroes of the Naval Battle of Iquique (1879) and further on, climbing up the hillsides you will enjoy a spectacular view of the bay, the Naval Academy and residences of Victorian aspect. Down in the old port, you ride through commercial areas, the Victoria Square and the mammoth building that now houses the new Congress of our nation. Here, at the traditional "El Almendral" quarter, you bid farewell to Valparaiso and take the Highway 68 back to Santiago.

ALLA TARASDVA During the ever-bright Antarctic summer days, the sun marches around the northern horizon and only briefly dips from sight. The summer bay is a huge nursery denizened with all manner of life: humpback whales, elephant and leopard seals, giant petrels, skuas and terns. Amorous penguins, each pair defending a modest cairn of pebbles, position themselves over the low hills and beaches with geometrical precision. The rookeries are a cacophonous bustle of activity. Behind the rookeiy, the shoulders of the mountains rise in tiers of snow and black scree, capped with ever-present glacier. —The Crystal Desert David Campbell

1 APE PETRELS and black-browed albatross escort us south from Tierra del Fuego across the Drake J Passage to a rugged land of ice, towering moun^^J tains and myriad life—Antarctica. The abundance of life is astounding. The ice-burdened sea surrounding the Antarctic Peninsula relinquishes its mantle each spring and swarms with krill, the keystone of this simple polar food chain. During these brief months of light, Adelie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins return to crowd the rocky headlands and peninsulas. Marauding skuas and watchful sheathbills patrol busy penguin rookeries. Antarctic terns, giant petrels, Antarctic blue-eyed shags and kelp gulls thrive in this remote land. Elephant seals lounge on rocky beaches. Leopard and crabeater seals, humpback and minke whales glide through a frigid sea. Little was known of Terra Australis Incognito until Captain James Cook's magnificent voyage in 1772. Just this century, the heroic explorations of Gerlache, Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen opened this last continent to the world. This icy realm beyond the limits of human habitation is an inspiring reminder of the power and grandeur of nature. We are humbled by the scale of its ice sheets, plateaus and mountains. Join us on these adventures to the White Continent aboard the Alia Tarasoua, a remarkable vessel, which takes us in comfort to these spectacular areas.

he Alia Tarasova was built in Yugoslavia in 1974 as an ice-strengthened passenger vessel. In 1991 the ship underwent extensive refurbishment in Finland and offers 45 first-class passenger cabins, all outside and furnished with ample storage space and private facilities. Public areas include a spacious dining room seating up to 96 people at one sitting and a comfortable lounge also equipped as a lecture hall. There is a well-stocked library and a small theater ideal for showing documentary videos. The spacious, outside decks offer excellent viewing areas for Antarctica's spectacular scenery as will of course the navigation bridge, where we are always welcome. Our ship will carry a fleet of sturdy Zodiac landing craft to enable us to go ashore as often as possible. Alia Tarasova meets the highest international standards and is equipped with modern satellite navigation and communication equipment.

Magellan, Drake, Sarmiento and others explored this wild land of countless islands and narrow channels, snow-capped mountains and dense forests of southern beech just 600 miles from Antarctica.

At the northern tip of the peninsula, on the edge of the Weddell Sea, the shores of Paulet Island are home to hundreds of thousands of busy little Adelie penguins—one of the most spectacular locations in Antarctica. At Hope Bay, on the Antarctic Continent itself, we will see another large Adelie rookery. Farther south, in the Palmer Archipelago, we will see large numbers of gentoo penguins nesting beneath towering, lichen-clad cliffs at Cuverville Island. At Pork Lockroy we will see the beautiful blue-eyed shags. We will enjoy some of the most dramatic scenery in all Antarctica including glacier-ringed Paradise Bay, the Neumeyer Channel, Gerlache Strait and possibly the most beautiful of all, the Lemaire Channel. It is here, as our vessel navigates the narrow channel between mighty cliffs rising sheer out of the water, we should find many spectacular icebergs, crabeater and leopard seals and possibly whales.

SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS

In 1819 the British explorer, William Smith described these islands as "barren and covered with snow, with seals in abundance." Now these islands support huge numbers of nesting chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie penguins. At Hannah Point, on Livingstone Island we will see hundreds of elephant seals as well as nesting giant petrels.

These islands, some 300 miles west of South America, were discovered by chance in 1592 by the British navigator, John Davis and were subsequently settled in turn by French, British and Spanish seafarers. The Falkland Islands are now an official British colony, established in 1853. These islands, 350 miles east of Tierra del Fuego, harbor more black-browed albatross, rockhopper and gentoo penguins than anywhere else on earth, with another area supporting large numbers of gentoo and magellanic penguins as well as many other local birds. At Port Stanley, a very "Victorian" town and the capital, we will meet the islanders and possibly visit the excellent museum.

SOUTH GEORGIA Looming 9,000 foot mountains and glaciers mark our approach to South Georgia, a remarkable wildlife sanctuary supporting huge numbers of king penguins, nesting albatross and breeding fur seals. South Georgia, lying constantly below the Antarctic Convergence, is possibly one of the most gorgeous locations on earth. Famed as the place where Sir Ernest Shackleton landed, after an amazing voyage by open boat to seek help for his stranded shipmates, South Georgia was once a bustling whaling center. The whalers have long gone and this Sub-Antarctic paradise is now inhabited by only scientists, a small British garrison and the natural residents—the wildlife.

Lars-Eric Lindblad Celebrates

3 D Years in ntarctica In 1965,1 introduced tourism to Antarctica. I have returned there almost every year since. At the time, many people thought I was crazy when I pioneered the first tourist expeditions to these frozen wastes. Yet the relatively small number of people who have been to Antarctica know that few places in the world can offer such a rare combination of magnificent scenery, abundant and fearless wildlife, and the thrill of exploring a true wilderness where nature is still in charge. Please join me on this adventure of a lifetime. I can promise an experience that you will never forget.

he expedition starts with a visit to the Falkland Islands. You will meet the friendly, self-reliant homesteaders and experience their warm hospitality, as well as discover the rich variety of wildlife that flourishes on these isolated islands. In the days at sea, keep watch on deck for the seabirds, especially albatrosses and petrels, that escort you as you sail to South Georgia. And learn about the history, wildlife, geology, and other aspects of the region from the on-board naturalists and scientists. South Georgia is a large, mountainous sub-Antarctic Island that has a proud place in the annals of exploration. It will be a highlight of the cruise, with visits to its enormous colonies of king penguins and fur seals, a close encounter with nesting albatrosses, and a fascinating walk through an abandoned whaling station. You then head for the awesome beauty of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. You will be entranced by mighty glaciers and magnificent icebergs—stately floating sculptures that range in color from pure white to delicate shades of blue and green. The days are often bright and sunny, and the air is clear and unbelievably invigorating. The nights, too, are sensational, with the snow-covered mountain-tops painted rose-pink by the sun that hardly sets. The Antarctic Peninsula boasts wildlife of astonishing abundance. You will meet penguins of several species that gather in vast breeding rookeries, attended by marauding skuas and scavenging sheathbills. Seals slumber on the rocky beaches or relax on ice floes. Humpback, minke, and killer whales are also quite numerous.

We will have four full days in Antarctica and will make good use of the long daylight hours to go ashore as often as posssible, weather and sea conditions permitting. We will have a very flexible itinerary during this time with visits to include the South Shetland Islands—Livingstone Island, with the rich wildlife area at Hannah Point and King George Island, home for many scientific bases, as well as Adelie, gentoo, chinstrap penguins and elephant seals. Further south, Deception Island will be a real highlight, passing through the narrow, steep-sided "Neptune's Bellows" to the flooded volcanic caldera and Pendulum Cove. We will pass through Gerlache Strait and Anvers Island, and visit Paradise Bay, so aptly named for its spectacular scenery. Further on we will reach Port Lockroy where we should see a large gentoo penguin rookery and more blue-eyed shags, and we will enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Lemaire Channel. Our actual itinerary here will be decided as we go along. Each evening we will advise the program for the following day. We will make the best use of weather, wind and sea conditions to see as much as possible, while at the same time we will endeavour to avoid any other passenger ships in the area. What we can guarantee is that we will see as much as possible, spend the maximum amount of time ashore and experience scenery and wildlife found nowhere else in the world.

At Port Stanley, a very "Victorian" town and the capital, we will meet the islanders and possibly visit the excellent museum.

SOUTH GEORGIA Looming 9,000 foot mountains and glaciers mark our approach to South Georgia, a remarkable wildlife sanctuary supporting huge numbers of king penguins, nesting albatross and breeding fur seals. South Georgia, lying constantly below the Antarctic Convergence, is possibly one of the most gorgeous locations on earth. Famed as the place where Sir Ernest Shackleton landed, after an amazing voyage by open boat to seek help for his stranded shipmates, South Georgia was once a bustling whaling center. The whalers have long gone and this Sub-Antarctic paradise is now inhabited by only scientists, a small British garrison and the natural residents—the wildlife.

DAYS

Depart New York or Miami on Ladeco Chilean Airlines for our overnight flight to Santiago, Chile.

Day 2 Santiago Arrive Santiago early in the morning and transfer to the elegant Carrera Hotel where we will stay overnight. The rest of the day will be free to explore this picturesque and cosmopolitan city with its beautiful Spanish architecture.

Day 3 Port Stanley This morning we will transfer to the airport for our Ladeco Airlines' charter flights to Punta Arenas, Chile, and Port Stanley, Falkland Islands. Upon arrival into Port Stanley, we will have time to see this quaint, "Victorian" town, meet the Islanders and possibly visit the museum before boarding our vessel, Alia Tarasova. Sail in the late afternoon.

Day 4 Falkland Islands Today we visit at least two of the islands, West Point, where rockhopper penguins and black-browed albatross nest at spectacular "Devil's Nose," and Carcass, where we see gentoo and magellanic penguins. Tonight we sail for South Georgia.

well as Arctic and Sub-antarctic geology and history. While at sea we will have wonderful opportunities to watch the magnificent seabirds which will glide in our wake. We may even see whales in the nutrient-rich waters near the Antarctic Convergence.

Days 7 , 8 & 9 South Georgia We will spend these three days in beautiful South Georgia. During this time we will aim to visit the abandoned Norwegian whaling station at Grytviken, and also the cemetery where Ernest Shackleton is buried on the island he loved so much. Elsehul Bay is home to thousands of noisy fur seals and king penguins in their splendid colorful plumage. Prion Island is particularly beautiful and here we will find large numbers of skuas and giant petrels. Higher up the grassy hillsides we may get to see nesting wandering albatrosses. These days will truly be a highlight of the whole voyage.


Days 1 0 & 1 1 Scotia Sea, South Orkney Islands As we head south through the Scotia Sea, we will recap our incredible experiences in South Georgia and prepare ourselves for the great, southern continent of Antarctica! As we have now crossed the Antarctic

Days 5 & 6 At Sea These days will be at sea and we will use this time to commence our lecture program and to recap our expe riences in the Falkland Islands. On board we will have experts on biolo gy, marine biology, ornithology as

Anvers Island

Days 1 2 to 1 6 Antarctic Peninsula We will have five full days in Antarctica and will make good use of the long daylight hours to go ashore as often as possible, weather and sea conditions permitting. We will have a very flexible itinerary during this time with visits to include the South Shetland Islands— Livingstone Island, with the rich wildlife area at Hannah point and King George Island, home for many sciPygocelis antarctica entific bases, as well as Adelie, gentoo, chinstrap penguins and elephant seals. Further south, Deception island will be a real highlight, passing through the narrow, steep-sided "Neptune's Bellows" to the flooded volcanic caldera and on to Pendulum Cove. We will pass through Gerlache Strait and Anvers Island, and visit Paradise Bay, so aptly named for its spectacular scenery. Further on we will reach Port Lockroy where we should see a large gentoo penguin rookery and more blue-eyed shags, and then enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Lemaire Channel. CHINSTRAP PENGUIN

evening we will advise the program for the following day. We will make the best use of weather, wind and sea conditions to see as much as possible, while at the same time we will endeavour to avoid any other passenger ships in the area. What we can guarantee is that we will see as much as possible, spend the maximum amount of time ashore and experience scenery and wildlife found nowhere else in the world.

Day 1 7 Drake Passage As we say goodbye to Antarctica, we will be heading across the Drake Passage, the famous (or infamous) stretch of water, so feared by many of the early explorers. Our vessel should ride these waters comfortably as we head towards Cape Horn. We will now have much to recap after so many unbelievable experiences in Antarctica.

Day 1 8 At Sea—Tierra Del Fuego Late in the day we should be drawing closer to Tierra del Fuego and the coastline of South America. Our lecture program will draw to a close and we will have a farewell cocktail party and the Captain's Farewell Dinner.
