# Other

In addition, several other organizations plan to arrange/conduct or
support tourism activities in the Antarctic during the 1998-99 season.
Although some of these organizations are not U.S. based, American
citizens are most likely involved in their planned activities and for
this reason are reported here.

## SHIPBORNE

a\) [Hapag-Lloyd Cruises]{.underline} of Hamburg, Germany, will operate
two vessels in the Antarctic Peninsula. The [Hanseatic]{.underline} and
the [Bremen]{.underline} will conduct 7 cruises each.

b\) [Marine Expeditions]{.underline} of Toronto, Canada, intends to
conduct approximately 25 cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula using the
[Akademik Shuleykin]{.underline}, the [Akademik Ioffe]{.underline} and
the [Disko]{.underline}.

## LANDBASED

[Adventure Network International]{.underline} (ANI), a Canadian company
with an office in Beaconfield, England, plans several 11-17-day
excursions to the interior of the Antarctic continent. Travel from Punta
Arenas, Chile, to Adventure Network\'s Patriot Hills base camp
(80°20\'S, 81°20\'W) is via a South African chartered C-130
cargo/passenger aircraft. These various inland excursions will occur
during November 1998 - mid-January 1999 using two chartered Twin Otters
and their own Cessna C-A185F aircraft.
