Here at Australis we have been navigating the waters of Cape Horn, the Beagle Channel and Strait of Magellan since 1990 as a leading expedition cruise company. During that time our passion and goal has never changed: to transport our guests to another world, one which is wild and beautiful, untouched by humankind and rarely seen by tourists; a unique experience that will not be forgotten. A UNIQUE, UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE WORLD — www.australis.com Australis cruise routes all encompass the hidden canals, fjords and environments of this evocative part of Patagonia. We have access to areas that other cruise operators do not, meaning that your on-land and offshore excursions – whether trekking towards giant glaciers, wandering forest trails or exploring the delights of the Penguin colony – will be in complete isolation. Our itineraries also include a stop at Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas which is often nicknamed the ‘End of the World’.

  • The Hundredth Book
    THE HUNDREDTH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA & A HISTORY OF THE CLUB BY DAVID MAGEE 1958 PRINTED AT THE GRABHORN PRESS FOR THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA CONTENTS PREFATORY NOTE page v A HISTORY OF THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA page vii OFFICERS OF THE CLUB page xxv THE HUNDRED BOOKS page 1 ANNUAL KEEPSAKES page 55 MISCELLANEOUS KEEPSAKES page 71 QUARTERLY NEWS-LETTER page 74 INDEX page 75 copyright 1958 by the book club of california PREFATORY NOTE IBLIOGRAPHIES are seldom solo performances. A man’s name may appear on a title-page, but that tells only one half of the story. It is the purpose of this prefatory note to tell the other half. When I agreed to compile a bibliography of The Book Club of California publications, with an accompanying history of the Club, I thought I was in for a fairly easy job. I understood that the archives were in existence and, of course, on the shelves at headquarters were complete files of Club books, keepsakes, Quarterly News-Letters, etc. It should be simple, merely a matter of collating and checking and trying to make of a bibliography something more than a catalogue of titles. How wrong can a person be? To begin with, it must be understood that for many years the Club was run by amateurs, devoted, splendid citizens who attended monthly board meetings and when it was necessary gave generously of their time and energies for the welfare of the Club. But they were still amateurs, and so long as the organization was not in danger of collapse or actual decease they were content to let things jog along.

  • Journey to Antarctica with Bryn Mawr
    JOURNEY TO ANTARCTICA: THE WHITE CONTINENT Aboard National Geographic Explorer | December 8-21, 2021 Remote. Untrammeled. Spectacular. Antarctica is one of the most exhilarating adventures on Earth. Every facet is thrilling and lovely. Its vastness is both humbling and uplifting, as is the ice in all its myriad forms. Relish the penguins—with their endlessly amusing antics, gabbling in their rookeries, bobbing by on a blue berg, or catapulting on to the shore. See mountains rising some 9,000 feet up from the sea and an abundance of marine mammals. Hike and explore by Zodiac. Travel with an expedition leader and naturalists who have hundreds of journeys under their parkas. A National Geographic photographer will give talks and one-on-one photo tips in the field, and an undersea specialist captures rarely seen footage of life beneath the icy surface for viewing in the comfort of the ship’s lounge. Spend your days and nights on a once-in-a-lifetime polar adventure with the Traveling Aggies.
