Icebreaker Adventures - On Thin Ice

Polar Bears International and Zegrahm Expeditions are planning an adventurous new icebreaker cruise deep into the polar ice sheet to see hunting polar bears. The cruise dates have not been determined yet because Zegrahm is considering two marvelous opportunities--a trip through the Northwest Passage or one around Baffin Island--and we can't make up our minds which is best.

This new tour will follow our successful joint venture to Norway's mysterious Svalbard Islands, where PBI members saw nine wild polar bears in additional to spectacular scenery and a full sampling of arctic wildlife.

Zegrahm Expeditions writes to explain the two options:

"We have two destinations in mind and would like your membership's help in deciding between them. Please have your members look over the choices below and contact your office with their preference. This will help us to gauge interest and to select the optimal itineraries to match expectations. We will place all respondents on a priority interest list to ensure that they receive choice of cabin selection when we finalize these exciting voyages."
