Our goal at UBC Alumni Affairs is to connect you with theuniversity and your fellow grads by providing you with programsand services that enrich your life and add value to your degree.Alumni Travel programs connect you with fellow alumni as youexperience the world.

Dear Alumni and Friends:

“Everything wears an aspect of unreality,” Ernest Shackleton wrote. “Icebergs hangupside-down in the sky, the land appears as layers of silvery or golden cloud, cloud bankslook like land, and icebergs masquerade as islands.” This is Antarctica, Earth’s last frontier.Normal human scales and reference points disappear amid the fantastically shapedicebergs, penguin rookeries and breaching whales. This is nature in its most pristine form.

Few travelers have followed the adventuresome explorers Shackleton, Amundsenand Scott to the Antarctic. Today, we are proud to introduce a spectacular itinerary tothis untouched wilderness aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe M.S. LE BOREAL,a state-of-the-art vessel launched in May 2010. Raising the small ship cruise experienceto new heights, M.S. LE BOREAL is the finest vessel cruising the Antarctic waters,combining innovative design with personalized service in a welcoming and intimatesetting and featuring private balconies in 95% of the deluxe, outside accommodations.

To enhance your Antarctic experience, M.S. LE BOREAL is staffed with an expertexpedition team of naturalists who will guide you on excursions ashore. Under theirdirection, you will board sturdy Zodiac craft for landings on rocky shores and beachesto observe the antics of Antarctica’s bountiful wildlife—penguins and seals, especially,are unafraid of human visitors—and discover the secrets of the White Continent.

Experience Antarctica now in its unspoiled state. You will sail during the lingeringlight of the austral summer, when long sunrises paint the icescape in soft shades ofpink and gold as whales, seals and penguins flock to glimmering turquoise glaciers andsparkling icebergs. This itinerary has sold out year after year! Space is limited, so I urgeyou to place your reservation soon, before July 23, 2010, while Early Booking Savingsare still available!

In contrast to sociable Adélie penguins, who congregate in large colonies, the leopard seal cherishes hissolitude and independence.

British espionage during World War II,Port Lockroy was converted into a whalingstation and scientific base in the 1950s.It is nestled among glistening mountainpeaks as high as 1,800 metres, and thesurrounding grounds are populated byblue-eyed shags and gentoo penguins.Gain insight into the lives of past explorersat the British Antarctic Survey Museum andsend a postcard with an Antarctica postmarkfrom the official British Post Office.

CANADA AND ANTARCTIC

EXPLORATION

The intrepid adventures of famed Europeanexplorers Roald Amundsen, Robert FalconScott and Ernest Shackleton have long beenrecounted in gripping personal tales and historybooks. Less known, however, is that Canadiansalso played a significant role in the explorationof Antarctica, particularly Sir Charles SeymourWright, physicist, glaciologist and assistant tothe meteorologist on Scott’s ill-fated expeditionto the South Pole. Persuaded into joining Scott’ssecond expedition (1910-1913), Wright barelysurvived his first encounter with the Antarcticand was one of the last people to see Scott alive.In mid-November 1912, Wright located thefrozen remains of Scott and two other membersof his South Pole party. A dedicated scientist,Wright went on to lead the team responsible forthe early development of radar. Returning toCanada in 1947, subsequent scientific researchbrought him back to the Antarctic. It was duringhis last tour in 1965 that he flew along WrightValley, named in his honour in 1959. After hisdeath in 1975, Wright’s ashes were consignedto the sea off Esquimalt, from the deck of theCanadian destroyer HMCS Restigouche.
