kaisatsu Posted February 4, 2015 #51 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There is no difference between a 'Peninsular trip' and a 'Circle trip' other than the fact that you cross an invisible line on the planet. Landings are the same: just as frequent, just as long/short, just as involved/simple (though nothing is 'simple' in the Antarctic). Whenever we were ashore we couldn't tell if we were above or below the Circle. Only the crew and my GPS could say. I cannot imagine what might make your friend's role less relevant or make him feel unloved. I get the sense that there may have been some bad blood between the expedition leader and the special programs staff. From what you all have said, it sounds like a Crossing is back on the table for trip 3! (South Georgia was always higher on my wishlist, but those trips are usually sooooo expensive. I can't believe how "cheap" the Fram trip is, and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the explanation, your friend is just plain wrong! I can't believe how "cheap" the Fram trip is Sssh! Hurtigruten might not have realised! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
