In its wake, people act more generously and ethically, think more critically... and feel a deeper connection to others and the world in general. Awe prompts people to redirect concerns away from the self and toward everything else. And about three-quarters of the time, it’s elicited by nature. —JAKE ABRAHAMSON, THE SCIENCE OF AWE, SIERRA, NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 National Geographic Explorer framed by a huge iceberg arch, Greenland. To see how National Geographic photographer Ralph Lee Hopkins got the shot, go to: expeditions.com/iceberg TM Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experi- ences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe. Ellesmere Island is a legendary place for me. Being there— the stunning vistas down to tiny flakes of stone—makes me see the whole world differently. When National Geographic Explorer rounds a new corner, vast mountains and glaciers are revealed, and time slows down among so much ice. The ship navigates the large-scale drama of the landscape, and then we go ashore to experience it with all of our senses.
