Ships in the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet are a platform for scientific exploration and knowledge. While exploring some of the wildest places on Earth, the fleet brings travelers face-to-face with nature and gives them the opportunity to contribute to scientific endeavors above and below the water. Guests are encouraged to submit photos of whale sightings to Happy Whale and bird sightings to e-Bird, aiding real-time scientific research efforts.
Select voyages invite scientists aboard to share firsthand knowledge and expertise with guests. On a National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyage, you never know what you'll discover or who you'll meet, and the opportunities for scientific learning are endless.
Citizen science: how travelers are impacting research initiatives
Passive travel is so passé. Travelers are looking for experiences that are active, adventurous, and eco-friendly—think ecotourism and voluntourism. That’s one reason National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is incorporating citizen science into wild places they explore with guests around the world. Another reason—it’s good for the planet.
