Tourists on the cruise ship, The MS World Discoverer, were led on expeditions, where they learned about the region's wildlife, as well as its ice floes, the result of frozen seawater.
A small fleet of dinghies landed passengers on various shorelines for observation of local wildlife in the area. Society Expeditions also hired a small team of experienced expedition leaders to answer tourist questions concerning the region, ice floes, their movements, and the ship's destinations.
