Ngaire, I just like to start rumours. friends

I just posted those two quotes to show that they talk about wildlife but the contract says they can take us wherever they want and show us whatever they want. I sure hope they spend more than just the three days on Wrangel looking for wildlife.

Still researching our new two day stop in Pevek; here is the description from the Silversea email:

Silver Explorer will now call on the small community of Pevek in Siberia, making it the first cruise ship in the history to visit this community. Together with our Expedition Staff we will take the opportunity to meet the local community and explore the surrounds.


And here is the picture from Wikipedia:
