Meet some of our Arctic, Japan & Russian Far East Discovery Team experts: Jonathan Fuhrmann

Baldur Thorvaldsson

Geology, Glaciology, Lecturer, Assistant Discovery Leader

Polar Guide and Marine Mammal Lecturer

Austrian-born Jonathan Fuhrmann lived in England for 11 years where he studied Glaciology at the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. In a considered effort to impart his wisdom and raise awareness of the sciences, he worked as a science communicator at the British Antarctic Survey and the National History Museum, where he would hold talks on a range of topics from climate science and astronomy, to palaeontology, volcanology and photography. During his years working on expedition ships, he has been fortunate to visit all seven continents of the world, noting a trip to Norway for the solar eclipse as one of his favorites.

A Icelandic marine naturalist and polar guide with an MSc degree in Ecotourism, Baldur Thorvaldsson believes in sustainable and ethical wildlife tourism as a means of encouraging people to appreciate the world around them. He has completed 50 polar voyages, including an expedition to Tristan da Cunha, a remote group of volcanic islands located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. He’s guided hundreds of whale-watching tours in Iceland, Norway and the Azores and observed over 50 species of marine mammals during his incredible career. Always looking forward to his next adventure and sharing his knowledge, he found his calling working on expedition ships, where no day is the same and every day presents a new challenge.

Pepe Rojas

Dr Terence Christian

Ornithologist & Lecturer

Archaeologist, historian & Discovery Leader

Peruvian-born Pepe Rojas is an ornithologist and field researcher who has dedicated much of his life to nature and conservation. Having led many expeditions on land and sea, from the polar regions to the Amazon rainforest, his passion will be infectious as guests uncover this lesserexplored part of the world. Pepe’s love for the Arctic was instantaneous as he fell not only for the unrivalled beauty created by the landscape and light, but for the native wildlife inhabiting its limitless icescapes. He’ll guide and lookout for the Arctic fox, numerous whale species and the iconic spoonbilled sandpipers, a bird that breeds only in this part of the world as he shares his insights of the region.

Dr. Terence Christian is an archaeologist and historian specialising in Conflict Archaeology and Military History. After completing his Ph.D. in Conflict Archaeology at the University of Glasgow he went on to teach archaeology and history before serving as the military historian for the American Battlefield Protection Program. Having had a love of travel from a young age, his work as an expedition leader, guide and Zodiac driver has since enabled him to build an extensive traveling repertoire covering most of the world’s continents. And, as a qualified PTGA Polar Guide, he describes the polar regions as one of his favorite places to explore with guests, as they discover where few have ever before.

A day in a life in the Arctic The Arctic is a rare opportunity to escape into the immensity of this vast wilderness, from the majestic fjords of Norway and the Svalbard Archipelago to Greenland’s glaciers and the geology of Iceland.

Polar bear, Svalbard Archipelago

Morning exploration

Awaken

Excitement builds as you pull away from Scenic Eclipse. Its size and unique design allows you to explore places that larger vessels can’t reach. What will it be today? Perhaps a Zodiac cruise beneath the limestone cliffs of Prince Leopold Island bird sanctuary on Canada’s Northwest Passage, where millions of seabirds nest. Or land and carefully approach a walrus haulout in Spitsbergen, a Chukchi village in Siberia or thermal springs in Iceland.

It’s early as you step from your cosy Scenic Slumber Bed to your suite’s floor to ceiling window. Morning sunlight dances across rock walls. Whether in the Norwegian fjords or those of East Greenland, your butler serves a coffee of your choice as you step out onto your private verandah to breathe in pure wilderness. In the Arctic, every day brings new wonder.

Morning

Late morning

After a delicious breakfast, put on your complimentary polar parka and proceed to the Discovery Center where your insulated boots await. Join your group at the Marina entrance and board a Zodiac for your morning excursion. With only 200 guests in polar regions, disembarkation goes smoothly and enables multiple landings each day.

No two excursions are alike. Your Discovery Leader are alert to changing opportunities – from beluga whales suddenly appearing, to the ‘crack!’ of glacier fronts calving – flexible enough to get you there. Monitoring weather, sea state and ice, they will safely guide and share their insights into the region’s environment. Given the range of on-board expertise, our Discovery Team can tailor each excursion to your interests.

Afternoon exploration Scenic Eclipse’s limited guest number means multiple landings a day. From historic hunters’ huts and reindeer in Svalbard, to Kamchatka’s coastlines alive with sea lions, otters and brown bears, to song and dance by indigenous people across the Arctic, your Discovery Team will interpret what unfolds before your eyes.

Lunch By midday, return to your ultraluxury Discovery Yacht. Choose lunch at one of several dining experiences, from casual Azure Bar & Cafe to Yacht Club’s grill, to contemporary fine dining. While you eat, rest and admire the views, Scenic Eclipse repositions to a new location for another excursion, holding its place using its GPS Dynamic Positioning System, without dropping anchor onto sensitive seabeds.

After-dinner What better way to finish the day than with a nightcap in one of our all-inclusive nine bars and lounges, as the Midnight Sun highlights wildflower patches in tundra meadows nearby.

Afternoon rejuvenation Back on Scenic Eclipse, visit our expansive 5,920ft2 Senses Spa for the pure indulgence of rejuvenating treatments, soak in our Vitality Spa or outdoor pool, or stretch tightening muscles in our POWER: gym, or PURE: Yoga and Pilates studio. Join your Discovery Leader for an illustrated recap of the day and learn what is planned for the next.

Antarctica is a continent surrounded by ocean, the Arctic an ocean surrounded by continents – and you can explore them all on our ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse. The European continent, enjoys Norwegian fjords and photogenic fishing villages; Svalbard’s colorful tundra, reindeer, polar bears and walrus; Greenland’s spectacular icebergs and glacier-carved valleys, musk ox and paleo-Eskimo camps. Discover Iceland’s aweinspiring waterfalls, Viking heritage, evocative volcanic landscapes and rejuvenating thermal pools. The North American continent includes Canada’s historic Northwest Passage, first navigated successfully by Roald Amundsen, with towering seabird cliffs, pods of ghostly beluga whales and the rare chance to see narwhals. Transit through Bering Strait to Alaska’s mountainous coast and share British Columbia’s Inside Passage with breaching humpbacks. Explore the Asian continent and discover the Russian Far East, including the Kurils, an island chain of volcanoes, incredible sea stacks, millions of seabirds and pods of orcas, stretching from Japan to Kamchatka Peninsula. The Pacific Ring of Fire continues north along Kamchatka’s magnificent coastline, where brown bears and Steller’s sea eagles feed on salmon and beaches echo with the roar of sea lions. Chukotka forms the northwest corner of Asia, a wilderness of captivating beauty, where Chukchi reindeer herders bring their herds to the coast to sip seawater, bears climb cliffs to steal seabird eggs, and protected bays resound with the blows of bowhead, grey, humpback and orca whales. Across the top of the Asian continent is the legendary Northeast Passage, until recently the domain of nuclear-powered icebreakers most of the year, but thanks to climate change, can be ice-free in summer. From Wrangel Island, the world’s highest density of polar bear dens, traverse the Arctic Ocean, setting foot in places few have visited such as the Medvedie and Novosibirskie Islands, Severnaya and Novaya Zemlyas and Franz Joseph Land. These wild places, inhabited by polar bears, walrus, seabirds like tufted puffins and rhinoceros auklets, and Russian scientists living in weather-worn stations left over from the Cold War. No matter which continent you choose, another significant difference between Antarctic and the Arctic are the polar bears. Marine mammals spend most of their lives on Arctic Ocean sea ice, hunting seals, walrus, even whales in the frigid waters and come ashore to give birth to their cubs.

Whenever we enter Ice Bear’s domain, your expert Discovery Team expedition leader carry bear deterrents ranging from rifles and flare pistols to pepper spray (depending on local regulations). Landing areas will be carefully marked with flags showing the limits where you can go. Your safety is our priority. As well as Arctic destinations, here are some seasonal highlights to help you decide which voyage to choose:

Early Summer June – Early July On seabird cliffs of Norway, Kuril Islands and Kamchatka, puffins, gannets and guillemots feed chicks. Humpback whales follow the Gulf Stream north along the Norwegian coast, while fast ice breaks out of the deeper fjords. Snow free areas across the Arctic attract migratory birds, and polar bears and cubs emerge from dens.

Midsummer Mid July – Early August Millions of migratory birds fill flyways in Europe, North America and Asia. Seabird cliffs are noisy with growing chicks. Algal blooms attract ringed, bearded and harp seals. On Wrangel Island and across Canada, polar bears teach cubs to hunt. Spectacular Arctic wildflowers bloom and walrus crowd ice floes as polar bears stalk seals in pack ice around Svalbard. Long days make Iceland an ideal destination for photographers.

Late Summer Mid August – Early September Open waters unlock the Northwest and Northeast Passages, with access to polar bears hunting seals and walrus in pack ice.

Svalbard

Halfway between Norway and the North Pole lies an enchanting archipelago swept by warm Gulf Stream waters along its west coast; frigid pack ice from the north, polar desert winds from the east and lush sea breezes from the south.

Svalbard is so remote not even Paleo-Eskimos reached there and despite later periods of shorebased whaling, hunting, trapping, mining and scientific expeditions much remains a pristine wilderness. It’s ours to explore in ultra-luxury from our Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse. Mountainous Spitsbergen, the largest island in the archipelago, dominates Svalbard’s northwest corner. At its heart is Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s largest, and the world’s most northerly settlement. As perpetual summer daylight bathes surrounding mountainsides, admire Longyearbyen’s colorful houses and fascinating museums before setting sail down Isfjorden. Due to the extraordinary nature of Svalbard, especially fast-changing weather and ice conditions, our Expedition Voyage itinerary is flexible, with the Captain and Discovery Leader working together to give you experiences that exceed your expectations. Here are some of the highlights that await you. Enjoy breathtaking scenery from your suite’s private verandah as Scenic Eclipse navigates spectacular waterways like Magdalena Fjord, and join Discovery Team specialists on Zodiac cruises along calving ice fronts of the Waggonway or 14th July glaciers. As you slowly move among the brash ice and bergy bits, watch for polar bears on shore and reindeer grazing on tundra hills.

In Kingsfjorden, we may visit Ny Ålesund, a mining town turned polar research center, or farther north, Amsterdamoya, where our Discovery Team historian leads us to Smeerenburg (literally Blubber Town) the remains of a 17th Century Dutch whaling settlement, where walrus often haulout. Just across the channel are the ruins from the Swedish balloon expedition base camp, where Andrée and his two co-pilots launched, never to be seen alive again. Today delightful harbor seals remain to entertain. North of Spitsbergen, Scenic Eclipse aims for the Arctic pack ice, an ethereal world where walrus bob on ice floes, polar bears hunt seals and beluga whales rise in open leads. Scenic Eclipse, is built to Polar Class 6 standards and its state-of-theart design allows us to push deeper into the pack

thus improving our chance to see more and reach places other ships can’t, including beyond 80 degrees latitude to Seven Islands, Svalbard’s northernmost island group. If ice conditions allow, thrill to a passage down Hinlopen Strait, which separates Spitsbergen from Nordaustlandet, an ice-capped polar desert where female polar bears and cubs prowl. Vegetation is sparse, but fossils are many and walrus frequently sleep on its cobbled beaches. Across the way are soaring birdcliffs that literally buzz with some 200,000 nests of Brünichs guillemots, kittiwakes and gulls. Carry binoculars to spy Arctic foxes scavenging for fallen eggs and chicks along the base.

D

On Svalbard’s south side, visit Sundneset, a fertile plain covered in green mosses and delicate flowers including the yellow marsh saxifrage, moss campion, bell-heather and elegant sunburst lichen. Round South Cape, the most southerly point of Spitsbergen, to explore the deep fjords of Hornsund and Bellsund, where reindeer graze on tundra near preserved trappers huts, puffins join guillemots on bird cliffs, and beluga whales rise like ghosts beneath ice fronts. Focus on the wonders of Svalbard in our Arctic in Depth voyage or combine it with explorations of other destinations like the Norwegian Fjords, Greenland’s stunning east coast, and the thermal wonders of Iceland. No matter which Arctic cruise you choose, traveling in 6-star ultra-luxury on the World’s First Discovery Yacht, accompanied by up to 20 Discovery Team specialists keen to share their expertise and enthusiasm for special places, will leave you with indelible memories to treasure.

Enter a world of breathtaking grandeur, where smooth rock walls rise 1.24 miles to monolithic spires, colossal glaciers calve aquamarine icebergs 328 feet high, vast tundra feeds musk oxen and reindeer, and waterways abound with whales and seals. Greenland, the world’s largest island, is draped in the planet’s second largest ice sheet and cut by the greatest fjords on Earth. From Northeast Greenland National Park (the world’s largest) situated south along the east coast, fjord systems wind up to 350 magical, often ice-laden miles from the coast. Scenic Eclipse ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht is designed and built to Polar Class 6 standards, making it easy to explore these remote regions. Scenic Eclipse operates in places other ships can’t reach, like Kaiser Franz Josef Fjord early in the season. This red-rock wonderland of wind and wave sculpted icebergs offers a secret passage to Kong Oskar Fjord, where your expert Discovery Team will lead you on walks across blossoming tundra to encounter musk oxen families and pure white Arctic hare. Learn what life was like for nomadic PaleoEskimos who inhabited the region for more than 4000 years, visit Inuit hunting camps abandoned two centuries ago, but remain so

well-preserved that circular stone tent rings, winter houses, bear-proof meat caches and grave sites can still be seen. Listen as your Discovery Team historian regales you with tales of polar exploration, from Fridtjof Nansen and Otto Sverdrup’s ski crossing of the Greenland Ice Sheet in 1888, to their drift across the Arctic Ocean on board the specially designed Fram. Sverdrup’s Fram II scientific expedition, which spent four years exploring north Greenland, is an epic tale. Delight in a warm welcome to communities like remote Ittoqqortoormiit, where Inuit hunters, trappers and fishermen keep traditions alive; Narsaq, on Tunulliarfik Fjord, where Norseman Erik the Red first settled and Qaqortoq, a town of 18th-century colonial buildings and a museum featuring Greenlandic culture that is set on a bay often dotted with icebergs and lively whales. Spend time on deck relishing the flight of fulmars as they accompany our passage.

Russian Arctic – Northeast Passage A

Traverse nine time zones across the top of Siberia and Russia, pushing through ice-laden waters to Arctic islands so remote few, if any humans have ever visited. Feast on wild landscapes along the planet’s greatest migration paths, where birds in their millions fly north to breed on lush river deltas and wind-swept sea cliffs. Step back in time to when woolly rhinoceros roamed the Great Arctic Plain and feel the weight of a mammoth tusk in your hands. Accept the challenge of Crossing the Legendary Northeast Passage and be rewarded with polar bear encounters and walrus crowding on ice floes. Meet Chukchi reindeer herders, Inuit fishermen and Russian scientists gathering high Arctic data from roughshod dwellings sometimes shared with wolverines, snowy owls and Arctic fox. Only in the past couple of decades has this region become accessible enough for nonicebreaker ships to make the crossing due to reduced Arctic Ocean pack ice. Purpose-built for high latitudes with a Polar Class 6 rating and the latest uncompromising standards of any ultra-luxury vessel, Scenic Eclipse is the perfect Discovery Yacht to do so. Embarking from Nome, Alaska, cross the International Date Line in the Bering Sea and enter the Northeast Passage at historic Cape Dezhnev, the most easterly point of the Eurasian continent.

Sail north to Wrangel Island, designated a ‘zapovednik’ during Soviet times, it continues to enjoy Russia’s highest degree of environmental protection and for good reason. Untouched by glaciers during the last Ice Age, its tundra boasts the Arctic’s greatest plant biodiversity, unchanged since mammoths made their last stand here 2000 years ago. Home to the largest population of Pacific walruses and surrounded by waters alive with bowhead, grey and beluga whales, Wrangel and nearby Herald islands host the planet’s highest concentration of polar bear dens. Over the next two weeks your Captain and Discovery Team leader will assess ice, weather and sea depth conditions to identify possible excursions each day.

Spectacular Scandinavia Scandinavia is more than a region, it’s a state of mind. Elegant and composed, it values great beauty and deep traditions. Its stylish cities are abundant with trendy cafés and shopping areas, and are a perfect mix of history and tradition with an affluent and modern influence. Be immersed in unspolied wild terrain, ice-blue fjords, majestic mountains and glaciers, thunderous waterfalls and green pine forests – you’ll agree that Scandinavia is simply spectacular. Art and culture With a proud Viking heritage, modern architecture, world-famous artists, and the best museums, Scandinavia is a melting pot of art and culture. Oslo’s Munch Museum is dedicated to the works of the famous Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. The Oslo Opera House is renowned for its remarkable angular architecture, and the city’s Viking Ship Museum is home to some of the world’s best-preserved Viking ships and artifacts. From the incredibly ornate Christiansborg Palace, to the Renaissance era Rosenborg Castle, home to the royal crown jewels and art collection, the glorious castles of Copenhagen are every fairy tale lover’s paradise. Among Stockholm’s many architectural wonders, the City Hall, built from 8 million bricks, and boasting a 328-feet tall bell tower with Sweden’s emblem, is a prime example of national romanticism in architecture.

Here, trolls and elves are not mere ancient mythical beings, they are an intrinsic part of Icelandic culture, and traces of Viking heritage are evident in everyday life. The Golden Circle The most sought after route to explore Iceland, the Golden Circle covers the three most iconic attractions of the country – the Thingvellir National Park, the Gullfoss waterfall, and the Geysir Geothermal Area. Also along the way are several other lesser known, breathtaking wonders. Thingvellir National Park is a place of geological, historical and cultural significance to Icelanders. The first Althing (the Icelandic parliament) session was held here in 930 AD. This is where the country declared its independence from Denmark in 1944, and the national park is the fascinating site of the continental drift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

The Golden Circle route gets its name from the Gullfoss Waterfall, Icelandic for Golden Waterfall. A walk along a narrow track offers spectacular close-up views of the two-tiered waterfall below. In sunny summer months, you can see a rainbow form across the cascading glacial waters, while during the winter months, the water freezes into undulating glassy waves. The nearly 3km wide geothermal field of Geysir Geothermal Area is home to the highly active Strokkur geyser which sprouts hot scalding water 100 feet into the air every 5-10 minutes. The original ‘Great Geysir’, which lends its name to all the ‘geysers’ of the world, was known to hurl water over 200 feet into the air before it became dormant. Today, the 60 feet wide hole of The Great Geysir quietly steams.

Icelandic cuisine Unsurprisingly, seafood forms a large part of the Icelandic cuisine, as do lamb and dairy. The country’s culinary innovations involving fish and lamb are limitless. The kjötsúpa, traditional lamb meat soup, is a favorite during winter months. The harðfiskur, dried fish jerky, is enjoyed as a snack with butter. Pylsur, the Icelandic hot dog, is a popular fast food among locals and tourists alike. And the skyr is a yoghurt-like dairy product that serves as the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Icelanders love their ice cream and can be seen enjoying it even in the cold winter months.
