If you haven't already heard, last week, a tourist cruise ship wrecked off the coast of Antarctica, south of Chile. Don't worry, everyone was rescued. They were a bit cold, but otherwise, 100% fine.
Anyway, the ship used to be owned by Lindblad Expeditions, the same company that gave Chris, Lindi, and their families a trip to the Galapagos Islands.
The first ship to rescue them is currently owned by Lindblad.
