Lindblad Expeditions has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of the world’s leading luxury Antarctic expedition company White Desert Antarctica.
White Desert, founded by polar Patrick Woodhead in 2005, flies small groups into Antarctica’s rarely seen interior, welcoming travelers at intimate luxury camps and taking them as far as the South Pole.
Its deep knowledge of the Antarctic interior complements Lindblad Expeditions’ decades of experience exploring Antarctica by sea.
Together, our expertise spans the breadth of Antarctica – from its wildlife-rich coasts to the sculpted ice tunnels, blue rivers and vast polar plateaus of its interior, stated Lindblad Expeditions.
Underlying our distinct approaches is a shared belief in small-group, expert-led exploration and a profound respect for this remarkable continent.
Lindblad Expeditions and White Desert will work together to launch Echo Charlie Modern Odysseys, which will offer imaginative, aviation-led journeys into remote regions from South America to the Arctic – connecting travelers with hidden places, ancient cultures and dramatic landscapes few ever experience.
