Citizen science forms a key part of our voyages, with guests contributing to global citizen science initiatives while travelling through remote and biodiverse regions. Each expedition features activities from our Science & Education programme, encouraging a deeper understanding of the places we explore. One of the projects highlighted is the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network, a NOAA-led initiative in North America that relies on volunteers to monitor phytoplankton communities and support the early detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs). In 2024, a sample collected aboard an HX vessel revealed elevated levels of a phytoplankton species of concern, later confirmed by NOAA and communicated to coastal communities. Citizen science continues to play an important role in expanding knowledge of marine ecosystems and supporting long‑term environmental research. Since 1896, HX has led mindful expeditions to some of the world’s most extraordinary places. 130 years on, we continue that legacy, taking curious adventurers to iconic destinations such as Greenland, Antarctica, and the Galápagos Islands aboard our modern expedition ships. Join us and change the way you see the world. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HXExpeditions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hxexpeditions/ Website: https://www.travelhx.com/en/

The word “sail” is more than 1,100 years old. It appears in Old English before about 900 AD, where it referred to the cloth used to catch the wind and propel a vessel. Closely related words also appeared across early Germanic languages, including Old Norse and Old High German, showing just how old the term really is. Its deeper origin is less certain. Some linguists have connected it to an ancient root meaning “to cut,” possibly referring to a cut piece of cloth. What is remarkable is how little the meaning changed. More than a thousand years later, we are still using essentially the same word for essentially the same thing. #sailing #sail #sailingschool #sailinglife #sailboat
