Endowed University Professor of Polar and Marine Biology Jim McClintock will lead a UAB cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula Dec. 7-20 that he promises will be “an unforgettable learning experience and very likely the trip of a lifetime.”

Join McClintock aboard Abercrombie and Kent’s cruise ship, Minerva, on his 16th expedition to Antarctica, earth’s final remaining continental frontier. Passengers will have the opportunity to be taken to shore twice a day to experience the unparalleled wildlife and scenery. There also will be a visit to the U.S Antarctic research station where McClintock conducts his research.  Prior to departure, McClintock will host a bon voyage party for all participants.
