K^EDITION TO THE, 



^I^'b 





July 12-31, 1994 



The North Pole, surrounded by more than 500 miles 

 of drifting pack ice, has long been a coveted prize for 

 explorers. Conquered only within this century, it 

 continues to add names to an already illustrious list of 

 explorers, among them Peary, Amundsen, Ellsworth 

 and Nansen. The American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory invites you to join a team of museum scientists 

 for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cross the polar 

 ice cap and stand at 90 degrees north. Sailing aboard 

 a powerful Russian icebreaker, we will travel safely 

 and comfortably to the North Pole, avoiding the 

 extreme hardships faced by previous adventurers 

 who had to travel overland and aboard ships ill- 

 equipped for the ice. Along the way, we will search 

 for walrus, seals, seabirds, whales, polar bears and 

 other Arctic wildlife. We will also explore Franz 

 Josef Land, a remote Russian archipelago where early 

 Arctic expeditions wintered, and Norway's wildlife- 

 rich East Spitsbergen. Join us for an unforgettable adventure.
