<br>In conjunction with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, a small band of intrepid Claremont travelers will journey from March 13 to 20, 2027 through the Gulf of California aboard the National Geographic Venture. Our itinerary includes hikes, Zodiac cruises, and snorkeling, along with delightful cuisine and hearty CMC camaraderie. A highlight, of course, will be the search for dolphins, sea lions, and up to six species of whales. Families are welcome: thanks to a special National Geographic Explorers-in-Training family program, children and teens will learn about this wild corner of the world—from tiny hummingbirds to massive humpback whales.
<br>As a biological scientist, I have spent my career teaching students and
<br>studying whales and their prehistoric ancestors. The Gulf of California is the perfect laboratory to continue these studies and share them with you. Seeing whales, sea lions, dolphins, sea birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat while learning about the beauty of Baja California will be the opportunity of a lifetime.
<br>On behalf of the CMC Alumni Association, I hope you will join me on this remarkable adventure.
<br>Sincerely,
<br>Lars Schmitz, Ph.D.
<br>Kravis Professor of Integrated Sciences: Biology</p>

<br>In conjunction with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, a small band of intrepid Claremont travelers will journey from March 13 to 20, 2027 through the Gulf of California aboard the National Geographic Venture. Our itinerary includes hikes, Zodiac cruises, and snorkeling, along with delightful cuisine and hearty CMC camaraderie. A highlight, of course, will be the search for dolphins, sea lions, and up to six species of whales. Families are welcome: thanks to a special National Geographic Explorers-in-Training family program, children and teens will learn about this wild corner of the world—from tiny hummingbirds to massive humpback whales.
<br>As a biological scientist, I have spent my career teaching students and
<br>studying whales and their prehistoric ancestors. The Gulf of California is the perfect laboratory to continue these studies and share them with you. Seeing whales, sea lions, dolphins, sea birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat while learning about the beauty of Baja California will be the opportunity of a lifetime.
<br>On behalf of the CMC Alumni Association, I hope you will join me on this remarkable adventure.
