Other

In addition, several other organizations plan to arrange/conduct or support tourism activities in the Antarctic during the 1998-99 season. Although some of these organizations are not U.S. based, American citizens are most likely involved in their planned activities and for this reason are reported here.

SHIPBORNE

a) Hapag-Lloyd Cruises of Hamburg, Germany, will operate two vessels in the Antarctic Peninsula. The Hanseatic and the Bremen will conduct 7 cruises each.

b) Marine Expeditions of Toronto, Canada, intends to conduct approximately 25 cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula using the Akademik Shuleykin, the Akademik Ioffe and the Disko.

LANDBASED

Adventure Network International (ANI), a Canadian company with an office in Beaconfield, England, plans several 11-17-day excursions to the interior of the Antarctic continent. Travel from Punta Arenas, Chile, to Adventure Network's Patriot Hills base camp (80°20'S, 81°20'W) is via a South African chartered C-130 cargo/passenger aircraft. These various inland excursions will occur during November 1998 - mid-January 1999 using two chartered Twin Otters and their own Cessna C-A185F aircraft.
