The Cruise Ship MS Explorer

MS Explorer (formerly called MS Lindblad Explorer and MS Society Explorer) is a cruise ship is registered in Liberia is intended for service to the Arctic and Antarctica. Initially, the MS Explorer has managed by the Swedish explorer Lars-Eric Lindblad. Observers point to the Explorer expedition cruises to Antarctica in 1969 as fronttrunner for marine tourism in the region. This vehicle ownership changed several times since its manufacture, with the last owner is a travel company based in Toronto called GAP Adventures, which gained Explorer in 2004. 

In addition to being the first cruise ship built specifically to explore the frozen waters of the Antarctic Ocean, the MS Explorer became the first ship that sank there when she struck an unidentified object under the water surface, which is reported as ice, on 23 November 2007 that left 10 lesion on the hull. MS Explorer left in the first hour on that date after being taken to the waters near the South Shetland Islands in the Southern Ocean, which is usually stormy, yet quiet on that day. MS Explorer confirmed by the Chilean Navy sunk in a position approximately 62 degrees 24 minutes south and 57 degrees 16 minutes west, in the South Shetland Islands and Grahams Land, in the Bransfield Strait, where there is a height of about 2000 feet (600 m).
