LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking® (www.viking.com) today announced its expedition team supported the discovery of a new colony of chinstrap penguins not previously known to science on Diaz Rock, near Astrolabe Island, in Antarctica. The finding took place in January 2024 when Viking's expedition vessel, the Viking Octantis®, visited Astrolabe Island, a three-mile-long island, located in the Bransfield Strait of the Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. Astrolabe Island is home to a colony of chinstrap penguins that had not been surveyed since 1987. During the visit, Viking's scientific partner, Oceanites, the leading field research entity in Antarctic penguin monitoring, conducted a visual and thermal aerial survey. The fieldwork documented the first survey in nearly 40 years of the known chinstrap penguin colony of Astrolabe Island and in the process, discovered the additional colony on Diaz Rock. Oceanites will share additional details from the survey in a scientific paper to follow in due course.

수요일, 2월 15, 2023

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking® (www.viking.com) today announced its Viking Expedition Team has published the company's first scientific paper, following observations of the rarely encountered scyphozoan Stygiomedusa gigantea, commonly known as the giant phantom jellyfish. The encounters took place during submersible dives in the coastal waters of the Antarctic Peninsula in early 2022. Despite reaching up to 30 feet (10 meters) in length, only 126 encounters with the giant phantom jellyfish have ever been recorded since the species was first described in 1910. During Viking's inaugural season in Antarctica in 2022, direct observations of the giant phantom jellyfish were made three times from submersibles deployed from Viking's expedition vessel, the Viking Octantis®, and documented through stills and video photography.

Key Points: 
  • With citizen science activities being popular among expedition guests, the paper also notes the potential to gather guest-derived data from submersible dives.
  • "In creating 'the thinking person's expedition,' it was our intention that every voyage should provide opportunities for scientific discovery," said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking.
  • During each expedition, visiting researchers from partner institutions are part of the 36-person Viking Expedition Team.
  • Viking offers destination-focused expeditions in Antarctica and North America's Great Lakes, with an expedition fleet that includes the Polar Class Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris .
