Oops – we made a mistake!
Remember the name G.A.P Adventures?
They are undoubtedly a global leader in the adventure travel industry describing themsleves as offering small group adventures on all seven continents and beyond to more than 60,000 global travellers annually.
In a media release today by G.A.P in the section “About G.A.P Adventures”, they say that their award-winning trips, which focus on culture, nature and active travel, are ideal for those with a sense of adventure – people who want to leave the beaten path and authentically immerse themselves in a local culture or environment to experience the real world in a sustainable manner.”
The go on to say, “G.A.P Adventures is also the proud owner of the legendary polar expedition ship, the M/S Explorer.”
Hang on though!
Isn’t the M/S Explorer not currently doing its very best to act out the role of an Antarctic submarine, having sunk when she struck an unidentified submerged object on November 23, with a 10 by 4 inch (25 × 10 cm) gash in the hull, with a numebr of questions being asked why and how a double skin ice strengthened hull vessel sank when it hit some ice?
With the Explorer confirmed by the Chilean Navy to have sunk in roughly 2000 feet [600 m] of water, it is hard to be proud of that and while The Mole knows that was not the intention of the press release, the devil is in the detail!
Ooops!
