Lindblad Expeditions, for example, which operates cruises to eco-sensitive destinations, has raised over $6.3 million for environmental partners like Galápagos National Park by soliciting passengers during trips (and offering credits for future travel).
Fifty-one percent of the passengers who sailed last year with Lindblad Expeditions, for example, were parents traveling with their families, and 15percentt of Lindblad's passengers in the past two years have been part of a three-generation group, usually on trips to the Galapagos and Alaska.
On the 14-day Jewels of the Arctic cruise operated by Aurora Expeditions, for example, passengers on the Polar Pioneer had access to a naturalist, geologist, an assistant expedition leader and Miller, an expedition leader who has spent 14 seasons in the Arctic and 20 in the Antarctic.
Extrapolating from aviation to mountaineering had been problematic in the 1930s for British expeditions – for example, Dreyer's worries that a failure in the oxygen system at altitude might lead to immediate unconsciousness was a real concern for aviators, but much less so for acclimatized mountaineers.
Some are mundane, but telling: the expedition leader, for example, described training all-male teams who would insist on double checking all her advice with a male colleague.
Though Sherpas and other hill people (the name Sherpa came to be applied erroneously to all porters) tend to outperform their foreign clients, they typically have played a subordinate role in expeditions; rarely, for example, has one of their names been associated with a pioneering route on Everest.
When she first tried to join high-altitude expeditions in the late 1960s, for example, she was told that women could only come as far as base camp — "to help with the cooking".
But it would prevent fishing expeditions by making it impossible, for example, to look for the Social Security numbers of all the people living on one street.Dr Esponda sees great potential for using negative databases when there is a need to look at the intersection of many sets of data owned by different parties.
In fact, the European efforts to help Candia were disastrous: for example, the expeditions of King Louis XIV of France in 1668 and 1669.
There is almost always an expedition off-site — to a gym, for example, for a game of family basketball — and invariably a scene in which the rabbi wires the parents with earpieces so he can coach them through a delicate moment by whispering on a walkie-talkie from the trailer: "Beatrice, tell Luis he's doing a good job".
