ravel to the remote reaches of the Arctic with a world-class team of lecturers to learn about global climate change. You'll be among the few to visit Wrangel Island, an international biosphere reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Anchorage, where the trip begins, you'll travel this polar frontier by plane, helicopter, Zodiac boat, and the expedition vessel Kapitan Khlebnikov, renowned for its experience, comfort, and safety. The sun never fully sets at this time of year, so the Khlebnikov offers round-the-clock activities. Weather and ice conditions will determine the exact course as the vessel travels northward.
