Marine Matters

Lindblad Expedition founder and president, Sven-Olof Lindblad, goes behind the lens to show you the amazing wildlife that you’ll discover aboard the line’s expedition cruises.

^{ISLAND DREAMS: A Galapagos sea lion squeezes its eyes shut on a bed of brilliant red sesuvium.}

^{PREHISTORIC: Marine iguanas creep through the Galapagos’ volcanic landscape, just as they did in the days of Darwin’s visit.}

^{ALL SMILES: A dolphin rises to greet human visitors from the National Geographic Sea Bird in the waters of Baja California.}
