Lindblad Expedition passengers aboard the National Geographic Resolution adopted one of the 12 floats we’ll deploy from the cruise ship this fall. The float will be deployed in the Pacific Ocean in mid-October, so make sure to keep up with the blog for more news. We’ll share photos, data, and links so you can track the float as it continues its mission to collect data and roam the Pacific!
Many passengers came by to sign their names on the float and write some well wishes. This was the culmination of a few days of outreach from technician Melissa Miller, who got to ride the ship and engage with passengers. Keep an eye out for the next blog post, with more photos and stories from that once in a lifetime experience!
