Special night

Yes, this is an Arctic photo, but it’s taken from inside the floating community I sometimes travel with. This is the National Geographic Explorer on a special night. When the lights go down and the house band, The Spice Boys, take over. These are some of our most inclusive moments, when crew, staff, and guests meet each other in a new way.

For me, small communities and extreme environments are all about the unexpected. And I would put a dance party near 80 degrees north in that category.
