On This Day

More than fifty years ago, Lars-Eric Lindblad chartered a ship and brought the first non-scientific travelers to Antarctica. A year later, in 1967, he did it again in Galápagos. Founded as Lindblad Travel in 1958, Lars-Eric Lindblad would risk it all to bring a handful of “citizen explorers” to the very last corners of the Earth. Backed by a treasure trove of archival footage and meticulously researched, “On This Day” explores—and celebrates—this heritage of Lars-Eric Lindblad’s evolving vision for Lindblad Expeditions.
