In 1981, Sven Lindblad chartered a floatplane in Southeast Alaska to seek out places only accessible by small ship—the first step in bringing 'citizen explorers' to the wildest parts of America's final frontier. Today, Alaska still captivates with the promise of discovery, and the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions mission here remains the same: to immerse our guests in an untouched wilderness that few others will experience.
