It was so sad to see this ship go down. We never used the Explorer, but it was built by Lindblad and sold to another operator years ago.
This was such an odd occurance, as it was the first Tourist passenger ship ever to sink in Antarctica.
The ships we used for Antarctica were the Orion (now in Australia) and the Corinthian II - both are luxury, newer vessels that hold about 100 people.
Anyone interested in going to Anartcica in the winter09/spring 2010?
