Welcome to The Hub

Welcome to The Hub! This will be your main place for information on this expedition – a virtual base camp of sorts. Be sure to check back here frequently for updates with your orientation package, registration, additional fun links, and so much more!

Start your pre-learning journey today!

This pre-learning package is an opportunity to learn about some of the bigger concepts that we will cover on the expedition, we introduce some of the areas we will be traveling to, as well as some of the wildlife that we may be spotting on the ship, in zodiacs and while on shore.
Remember: There are some fun facts scattered throughout the document.  We will use these for some fun challenges while on the ship!
