Un/Mapped: South Georgia's Wildlife Spectacle, Bucket-List Family Trips and Art Meets Nature in the Galápagos

On a recent trip to the Galápagos, Lindblad Expeditions CEO Dolf Berle was joined by a special artist-in-residence traveling aboard. Watch as he talks with Louis Henry Mitchell, Sesame Workshop's Creative Director for Character Design, about the islands' iconic wildlife, the power of igniting your imagination, and more. When seen alongside your loved ones, the world's most unbelievable destinations are made all the more special. Explore these bucket-list adventures that have something for every member of the family, whether that's encountering penguins in Antarctica, hiking volcanic landscapes in Iceland, or ziplining through a Costa Rican rainforest. There is a wildlife spectacle waiting in South Georgia unlike anything you've seen before: tens of thousands of penguins crowding one beach, enormous elephant seals hauled-out on shore, and flocks of seabirds soaring above. Plus, in the Falklands, white-sand beaches host their share of irresistible penguins. Get a glimpse of what it's like and then plan to join us there this October. New York's Hudson River Valley has more spirits and legends than most other places in the country, says Jonathan Kruk, a master storyteller known for dramatic renditions of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and other fabled spooky tales. As we prepare for a series of three unique voyages along the river this October, Kruk talks to us about ghost stories, haunted spirits, and of course, Halloween. Beyond New Zealand's lush valleys and verdant hillsides, another world awaits. Distant, rugged, and wild, the subantarctic isles are among the most rarely seen and least-disturbed regions of our planet.
