What An Expedition Leader Does on National Geographic Explorer

Bud Lehnhausen, expedition leader onboard Lindblad Expeditions' National Geographic Resolution, talks with David Cogswell of Insider Travel Report about the importance of being an expedition leader, second only to the captain of the vessel. Lehnhausen talks about the number of firsts achieved on this journey, including walking on fast ice early in the season and sailing through "sea smoke," the fog that emanates from the surface of the warmer water meeting the colder winter air, illuminated by the sun from a low angle.
