Last week in Svalbard, our expeditioners aboard the Sylvia Earle had an unforgettable encounter with a polar bear on an ice floe.

While polar bears usually avoid hunting walruses due to their size, strength, and tusks, this particular bear showed interest in them. Typically, seals are a safer and more manageable prey for these elusive Arctic giants.

Today on National Dolphin Day, we're spotlighting our favourite dolphin: the hourglass dolphin. Want to know how to tell the difference between an hourglass dolphin and an orca? Hourglass dolphins are small oceanic dolphins that weigh around 110 kg. They have striking black and white markings on their bodies that take an hourglass shape, and are predominantly found in remote Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters. In contrast, orcas can reach sizes up to 4,000 kg and inhabit a wide range of ocean environments, from cold polar regions like Antarctica and Norway to tropical and subtropical waters. Now you will be able to distinguish between them if you're lucky enough to spot either on your next expedition! 📸 Tyson Mayr #NationalDolphinDay #Dolphins #HourglassDolphin #Antarctica #WildlifeWatching #Orca #AntarcticWildlife

Aurora Expeditions

From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Co-founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer had a passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends and in 1991, Aurora Expeditions, named in honour of Sir Douglas Mawson's ship, was born.

Deeply committed to education and preservation of the environment, Aurora Expeditions has been involved in 27 years of Antarctic research and polar travel.

With a history of pushing the boundaries of expedition travel, Aurora Expeditions is proud to have pioneered a number of activities such as scuba diving and climbing in Antarctica. The majority of voyages now offer adventure options such as mountain climbing, sea kayaking, photography and camping in various locations; while Aurora's expert naturalists, historians, staff and crew help to unlock the wonders of these special places.
