SUBBING UNDER THE ICE Visit the world's northern-most ship - wreck. 350 feet under the ice. Fly north to Ice Station Beechey in the Canadian Arctic and join one of the first expeditions to visit the sunken H.M.S. Breadalbane. The Breadalbane crew was on a mission to rescue Sir John Franklin. the famed Arctic explorer. when it sank in 1853. On your trip. special submersibles lowered through dive holes in the ice will approach the upright and beautifully preserved shipwreck that is now home to bioluminescent comb jellies. sea stars and ringed seals. You will live directly on the ice in expedition trailers for eight days. In between dives you'll go on a polar bear safari. build an igloo and learn from an impressive team of ice biologists. underwater archeologists and arctic explorers. DEPARTURES: MARCH. APRIL.
