Wanderlust

11 Jan 2026

Wanderlust's founding editor, Lyn Hughes, is joined by Mark Stratton and HX's Niek van Eck for a discussion on the polar expedition cruise sector. With over a dozen expedition vessel cruises to Antarctica as well as the Subantarctic regions, journalist and broadcaster, Mark, has sailed alongside blue whales, gasped at the aroma of half-a-million king penguins, and followed in the footsteps of Shackleton. His next big adventure to the frozen continent is to the rarely visited Ross Sea in East Antarctica
